c7.s1.6

Amongst epigraphical works recently published by scholars unconnected with the Department of Archaeology, mention may be made of *Important Inscriptions of the Baroda State*, Vol. II, edited by G. Yazdani and R. G. Gyani and a monograph containing fiftynine inscriptions, mostly from Ahmedabad, with facsimiles of 46 out of them, edited and published by M. A. Chaghtai in the *Bulletin of the Deccan College Research Institute*, Vol. III, No. 2, 1942.¹ A few inscriptions studied by different scholars have also appeared in Indian periodicals like the *Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal*, *Indian Historical Quarterly* and *Oriental College Magazine* (Lahore). V. S. Bendrey’s *Study of Muslim Inscriptions* (Bombay, 1944) deals specially with the inscriptions published in the *Epigraphia Indo-Moslemica* from 1907 to 1938 and contains summaries of epigraphs, arranged chronologically, with four appendices. The introductory portion of the work explains the principles on which a methodical study of epigraphical material should be based and contains suggestions to be followed by the students of Indo-Muslim epigraphy.
