Yesterday I got a look at the Bhaugun Kamat Vagh MS of the Khristapurana in the Pissurlencar Collection held by the Goa University Library.
The MS is notebook size, with a loose leather cover, and over it a loose brown paper cover.
The brown paper cover indicates in pencil that the MS was found in the house of Bhaugun Kamat Vagh. However, an inscription on one of the initial pages reads, in Portguese, something like this: Offered by Fr Cator [?] to Mr Pissurlencar. Obviously the MS has passed through many hands. It is listed in the Pissurlencar Bibliography issued by the Goa University simply as found in the house of Bhaugun Kamat Vagh. There is no mention of the priest who offered the MS to Pissurlencar.
The MS is not complete: it contains only Avesvaru 38, 47, 48, 20, 50,
