Survey of editions of the Carakasaṃhitā and their sources

In the summaries of titles, the spelling of names of editors, series, publishers and locations have been adapted to the standard English transcription of Indian names.
In the section giving the full Sanskrit text of the title page, names of works, authors, editors, etc., are written with capitals, even within compounds.
The arrangement of chapters (adhyāyas) in the Cikitsāsthāna (ci) serves as the criterion for the distinction between the Kashmiri recension and the eastern recension. Possible contamination was not considered, i.e., editions identified as belonging to the Kashmiri recension may elsewhere follow the eastern recension.
References to numbered text passages are according to edition no. 30 (Mz) 1941.
In some cases it was possible to identify mss. used by earlier editors with mss. available to the project or mss. that could be located in mss. catalogues.
Abbreviations in bold face and placed between square brackets indicate the sigla of the editions that were collated for Vimānasthāna 8. Bold-faced abbreviations of libraries and call numbers indicate the copy used for collation if more than one copy is listed.
