The completion of CESS will permit a detailed analysis of the development of these scholarly families and of the schools to which they belonged as well as a history of the transmission of scientific literature in India. It will also be possible to study the regional distribution of various categories of texts and the extent to which science was unified in India. Hopefully the material will suffice to provide some insights into other areas of Indian intellectual history as well. For this purpose it is essential that the information recorded be not only accurate but complete. At the present time neither aim can be perfectly achieved; the author must rely on catalogues which are certainly often in error (he has silently corrected those which were obvious enough), and he cannot personally inspect those libraries which have not as yet been catalogued at all. He requests, therefore, that anyone who detects an error or who has knowledge of material on jyotiḥśāstra which has escaped his notice should communicate with him in order that the corrections and additions may be made in the future volumes of CESS. - [Previous: v2.c9.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1970.v2.c9.7) - [Next: v2.c9.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1970.v2.c9.9) - [Up: v2.c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1970.v2.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1970.v2.c9.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1970.v2.c9.8) · Pramāṇa
