Catalogus Catalogorum
Catalogus Catalogorum (in German about catalog of catalogs ) is a listing of all existing works and their authors written in the ancient Indian language varieties and Sanskrit, begun in 1891 by the German Indologist and Sanskritist Theodor Aufrecht .
Theodor Aufrecht himself wrote a total of three volumes between 1891 and 1903. In November 1935 this work was resumed under the name "New Catalogus Catalogorum" , initiated by AC Woolner, the then Vice Chancellor of the University of the Punjab and with the support of the British government, and is now headed by the University of Madras . Just two years later, a new edition of the Catalogus Catalogorum was published based on Aufrecht's work.
In 1949, the first volume of the newly formulated and forty-volume New Catalogus Catalogorum was published. Of the planned forty volumes, fourteen have been published so far (2013) and more are in preparation.
In terms of content, this encyclopedia covers a thematic range that includes all areas of life.
