Following a tip from Gudrun Melzer of Institut für Indologie und Tibetologie Ludwig‐Maximilians‐Universität München, on 16–18 November 2021 Kengo Harimoto visited the Institute to examine a palm-leaf manuscript reportedly of the Nepalese Śivadharma Corpus kept there. Upon examination, it was revealed that the manuscript could be one of the oldest we are aware of and that it preserves information regarding the formation of the corpus. Kengo is currently working on an article in which he will assess the importance of the information gained from the study of this manuscript for our knowledge of the formation of the Śivadharma Corpus.
