The Panchatantra-Text of Purnabhadra

More about the book

In the Preface to volume xi, the author explains the decision to publish this volume separately from volume xii due to technical considerations related to bookbinding. The parallel specimens are designed to be mounted on guards, similar to atlas maps, allowing for a convenient arrangement in separate covers. Initially, there was an intention to print these specimens in polychrome, but this was abandoned due to high costs. Instead, various types of print are used, which may be challenging to distinguish but are hoped to be less confusing than color variations. The author expresses gratitude to Mr. Horace Hart, the Controller of the University Press, for his assistance. The publisher, Forgotten Books, specializes in reproducing rare and classic works, utilizing advanced technology to restore and preserve the original format while correcting imperfections in aged copies. While some flaws may remain, they are typically repaired to maintain the historical integrity of the work.
