While revising the work and correcting the proofs of the revised edition, the old desire to write a text book on Indian epigraphy and palaeography again seized me, and I planned a small work on the subjects. Soon I completed some short chapters on Indian palaeography together with a few on certain connected topics of epigraphy in the lines of G. Bühler's \*Indische Palaeographie\* and G. H. Ojha's \*Bhāratīya Prācīn Lipimālā\*. It was only then that I realised that Indian epigraphy required a more elaborate treatment in a separate volume. - [Previous: c2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c2.1) - [Next: c2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c2.3) - [Up: c2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c2.2) · Pramāṇa
