Handwritten by Gogerly in the Sinhalese script, before November 6, 1847 in Sri Lanka (Ceylon). The text is aligned in columns, possibly leaving space for English translation on the right page side.

There are three manuscripts related to Gogerly's translation of the Brahmajāla sutta. The sutta discusses two main topics: 1) the elaboration of the Ten Precepts (Cūḷa-sīla), the Middle Precepts (Majjhima-sīla), and the Great Precepts (Mahā-sīla); 2) the 62 beliefs (diṭṭhi) which are devoutly practised by ascetics in India.

The manuscript is a tentative Gogerly translation of the Thūpavaṃsa chronicle. Written in the middle of the 19th century in Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Transcribed by an unknown author. Translated from Pāli or Sinhalese. 37 loose sheets (pages 25-62); the other 12 sheets are missing. The text is written on one side; black ink. The translation is full of corrections and notes. The Thūpavaṃsa narrates the history of the relics of Śākyamuni Buddha, and contains a rich depiction of the institutionalisation of the Buddha-Śāsana in Ceylon during the reigns of kings Aśoka and Devanampiyatissa, as well as the construction of relic monuments by the later king Duṭṭhagāmaṇī. The central focus of this work concerns the variety of relics associated with the historical Buddha, particularly how the relics were acquired and the presumed benefits of venerating them. 32cmX20cm.
