NOTE ON THE TRANSLITERATION OF SANSKRIT
The system of diacritical marks used in the Bibliographies and the Index (with square brackets), as well as in the English translations of original French and Russian texts, does not strictly follow any one specific scholar, to the exclusion of all others. While adhering to a very large extent to Sir Monier-Williams’ Sanskrit-English Dictionary, as for instance in the case of the Anusvâra, the transliteration adopted includes forms introduced by other Sanskrit scholars as well, being therefore of a selective nature.
It should also be noted that the diacritical mark for a long “a” was in the early days a circumflex, and therefore all of H.P.B.’s writings embody this sound in the form of “â.” No change has been made from this earlier notation to its more modern form of the “macron,” or line over the “a.” Such a change would have necessitated too many alterations, and almost certainly would have produced confusion; therefore the older usage has been adhered to throughout.

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ORIENTAL WORKS
Realizing that it will assist the earnest student to have a list of selected editions of Oriental Works, most of which are not readily obtainable, the following Bibliography has been prepared. No attempt has been made to include all the known editions. Those mentioned below represent, therefore, only some of the most noteworthy publications. In a few instances, no definite information could be secured. Translations are in the English language, unless otherwise stated. Certain Serial Publications of Oriental Writings are indicated by italicized capital letters following the editions. Many of the works referred to may be consulted for a short time by means of Inter-Library Loans. To facilitate this, Institutions and Libraries where such works may be obtained, are indicated within square brackets.
The Key to the Abbreviations used is as follows:
Ed.—stands for Editions of the original text in Devanagari characters.

Infancy, The Arabic Gospel of, an apocryphal gospel, probably an Arabic translation of a lost Syriac original compilation; refers expressly to the “Book of Joseph Caiphas, the High Priest,” the “Gospel of the Infancy” and the “Perfect Gospel.” Consists of 55 chapters covering period from the birth of Jesus to his twelfth year; stories deal mostly with the residence in Egypt; shows contact with Zoroastrian ideas. No definite date can be ascertained, though it must be prior to Mohammedan era. No MS. exists earlier than the 13th century. Very popular with the Syrian Nestorians. This Gospel may have been a Catholic retouching of a Gnostic compilation. English version by Walker. See Ante-Nicean Fathers, VIII, 405-15 (American reprint of Edinburgh edition. New York: Chas. Scribner’s Sons, 1908).

GENERAL BIBLIOGRAPHY
