Bellow you can find two cleaned up pages from the manuscript no 251 in Tokyo of Candrakīrti's Prasannapadā. In red is Nāgārjuna's text, in blue is the vṛtti.
Great job Adrian! How does the original look like? And how old is it? Where does it come from? I would like to be able to locate different (dated, if possible) samples of various Indian scripts on line, so that one can have a glance into the development of each script and, hence, evaluate the age of the manuscript one is working on.
The manuscript is in Tokyo. I don't know how it looks in reality, I've worked on the scans available on the university website (see the link in the post). Those two pages are page 49 and page 50.
I don't know how old it is, I only know that it's pretty readable. The entry in Matsunami's catalog is as follows: (1) Prasanna-padā (by Candrakīrti) [the best among the three] (2) Paper, 241 leaves, 6 lines, 14 1/4 x 3 1/2 inch, Nepalese character, modern, (ON.359), (K).
