ABSTRACT

In this chapter I first list the sources that have been collated as the basis of the critical edition of the Khecarīvidyā. These sources are presented here in the order in which they are reported in the apparatus. Their order reflects the age of their archetypes. 160 Thus the manuscripts that make up the group µ are given first because the archetype of µ is the earliest witness of the Khecarīvidyā of which we have evidence.
