              Part of Papers of Horace Hayman Wilson

              A manuscript of the 'Analytical Account of the Pancha Tantra illustrated with occasional Translation by H.H. Wilson, Surgeon on the Bengal Establishment, Secretary to the Asiatic Society of Bengal and Member of the Asiatic Societies of London and Paris'. A further note on the opening page records that this manuscript was read at the General Meetings of the Royal Asiatic Society on 15 May and 5 June 1824. It was subsequently published in the Transactions of the Society.

              This is a handwritten manuscript giving an account of the Panchatantra, the ancient Indian collection of animal fables in Sanskrit verse and prose, arranged within a frame story. The manuscript bears considerable annotation by both Wilson and another hand, probably that of Henry Thomas Colebrooke. There is also a Note appended to the end of the manuscript by Colebrooke. The manuscript is contained within a unlined notebook 32 x 20 cm, of which the front cover is missing.
