Two copies of Pañcapādikā, Brahmasūtrabhāṣya (fragment)

The bundle contains three Advaita-Vedānta works: two copies of the Pañcapādikā by Padmapāda. The first copy is complete, except for missing leaves; the second copy comprises a small portion of the discussion on theories of error (images 0005-0289; 0297-0316). This is followed by a fragment of Brahmasūtrabhāṣya by Śaṅkara - very beginning of the work only (not even reaching 1.1.1), which is commented upon by Padmapāda in the first varṇaka of the Pañcapādikā (images 0291-0296). The manuscript is in good condition, but with some minor damage.
