Enter the title of the work and tick the check-box where this title was found. If the title is from a source for which there is no check-box, write a note. If different sources give the same spelling for the title check the relevant check-boxes.
If there are variant titles, or the manuscript contains several different works,
record all the titles here.
When you press the "Save" button after entering a title, a "Different spelling/Alternative title" button appears. You can press this to get a new blank form where you can enter new title information. Just continue recording the titles you find, whether referring to the same work or to different works. Elsewhere in this database, there is a function for grouping variant titles and associating titles with the appropriate uniform titles.

Note:
The Woolner project team is grateful for S.T. Wright's remark (April 6, 2013) on the authorship of the work transmitted in this manuscript:
"This is a commentary—here called the Vivekāloka—on Raghunātha Śiromaṇi’s
Padārthatattvanirūpaṇa. The author is Rāmabhadra Sārvabhauma. The author
is confirmed from (1) the maṅgala verse in which he praises his father
“Cūḍāmaṇi” (i.e., Jānakīnātha Cūḍāmaṇi Bhaṭṭacārya) as well as mentions
himself. This verse is present in other works by Rāmabhadra (Dineshcandra
Bhattacharya, 'History of Navya Nyaya in Mithila', p. 131); (2) the MS is
nearly identical with the published version of Rāmabhadra's commentary in
'The Pandit' (1906).
Although this MS does not include the first verse of the maṅgala as is
seen in the published edition of the text, this is not a unique omission.
As the editor notes in a footnote, this verse is often not included in
available manuscripts ('The Pandit', 1906, p. 81, n. 2).
Unfortunately, it seems that a misreading of the text identified this as a
commentary by Jayarāma during the production of the PUL catalog. This
means that the 'New Catalogus Catalogorum' entry for this text is
incorrect. Also, Potter’s EIP that lists Jayarāma Nyāyapañcānana as the
author needs to be updated. While it would have be wonderful if Jayarāma
Nyāyapañcānana had written a commentary on this text, we currently have
no evidence that he did."
