Arquivo HHW - Papers of Horace Hayman Wilson

The manuscript of the Panchatantra was created by Horace Hayman Wilson and probably sent to the Society for reading at a General Meeting and possible future publication where it was annotated by Henry Thomas Colebrooke. It is unclear whether the Vishnu Purana manuscript was created by H.H. Wilson or another hand. As it is incomplete it may have been that some person was creating a fair copy of H.H. Wilson's work. The copies of the letters were presented to the Society by Lieutenant Colonel Doyle on 15 March 1834.

Wilson's Analytical Account of the Pancha Tantra, illustrated with occasional Translations with note by Henry Thomas Colebrooke was published in the Transactions of the Royal Asiatic Society, Vol. 1, pp. 155-200.
All Wilson's works were gathered by Reinhold Rost and published posthumously in 1864 under the title Works by the Late Horace Hayman Wilson, M.A., F.R.S., copies of which are held within our Library Collections.
