1568 Cambridge Add 1707: Vaidyavallabhasaṃgraha by Vaṅgasena, completed in A.D. 1276 (see on this MS: D. Wujastyk, 1990: 114–115; D. Wujastyk says that the relationship of this MS to the usual recensions of Vaṅgasena's Cikitsāsārasaṃgraha is not yet clear; the MS contains, however, a recension of Vaṅgasena's work, as appears from the description). A MS dating from A.D. 1320 is in the Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, Poona (CBORI XVI, 1, Nr. 78); this MS was already described by R.G. Bhandarkar (1887: 86); see on this MS also P.K. Gode (1956b). Atrideva (1978: 36) claims that the original version of Vaṅgasena's work dates from A.D. 1276 (the year of completion of the Cambridge MS), its revision from A.D. 1320 (the date of one of the Poona MSS).
