Note
The Denkart fragments are copied from Haug's MS.; a note in the table of contents at the beginning of the MS. states : " No more copied as I have another complete copy collated with the most original MS. in Bombay, whence H. 13 and. all other Bombay copies are derived." Cf. introduction to Pahlavi Texts, Part IV, p. xxxvii; Professor Kielhorn gave West a modern copy of Denkart IV-IX, which he collated with B; this copy was bought after West's death for the Asiatic Museum in Leningrad; cf. Salemann, Manichaeische Studien I, p. 115, note 15.
