The purpose of the report is to demonstrate methods and approaches scholars can use when dealing with old texts which are often accessible only indirectly through often imperfect photocopies or editions. The author concentrates on comparison of two highly interesting manuscripts, important for the study of early phases of Dādūpanthī literary traditions. To the interested researcher, both are accessible only indirectly, one in printed edition, the other in incomplete form on a microfilm. The analysis can proceed by comparison of internal structure of both, supplemented by visual evidence of the latter.
