New Delhi manuscript of 1713

also New Delhi Birh, Bhai Mani Singh Adi-Dasam manuscript

A dated early eighteenth-century volume listed by Mann among the early manuscripts of the Dasam Granth.[Mann][Web]

Date
1713
Held by
Unconfirmed
Location
New Delhi, as the name implies
Provenance
Attributed
Status: Whereabouts unknown
Mann (2008) names the manuscript and its date without stating who holds it. One unconfirmed report names a private New Delhi household, so the holder is left unconfirmed.

Wikipedia's history of the Dasam Granth links a 1713 Adi and Dasam volume with Bhai Mani Singh and says it has folios by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. That claim has not been confirmed from a scholarly description.

What is disputed

  • Autograph claim

    The statement that some folios are in Guru Ji's hand comes only from Wikipedia among the sources read.[Web]
