Yinzadi | 103 comments Hopefully this is alright.

This is at least two volumes, as the second volume is mentioned in Simhasana Dvatrimsika: Thirty-Two Tales of the Throne of Vikramaditya. That book also lists the second volume as being published in 1974. Unfortunately I couldn't find anywhere that said how many volumes were in the complete set. As far as I can tell the publisher has never had an online site.

* Title: The Kāvya-Portions in the Kathā-Literature: An Analysis

It is listed as part of the Concordance of Poetical Passages in Sanskrit Didactic Literature series.

* Author(s) name(s): Ludwik Sternbach
* ISBN (or ASIN): (couldn't find one)
* Publisher: Meharchand Lachhmandas
* Publication date: 1971-1976
* Format
* Description:

The only description I have is from the Vikramaditya collection mentioned above, where Haksar describes it as: "This and Edgerton comprise the most detailed studies to date of the Simhāsana Dvātriṃsikā." That's probably not useful at all but I thought I'd put it out there just in case.

* Link to cover: (couldn't find one)

It looks like there were definitely three volumes in the series. I fudged a bit of description from this review of the first two volumes, but if anyone has better please update!
