The Bibliothèque nationale et universitaire de Strasbourg contains in its collection of Sanskrit manuscripts a small anonymous work dating from the 19th century with the title: “Böhtlingk Indische Sprüche. Ordre alphabétique des ouvrages d’où les maximes sont tirées.” The present study determines the precise date of this work and identifies its author as Georges-Louis Leblois (1825–1898), minister of the protestant Temple-Neuf de Strasbourg. It also establishes the original aim of the work. This repertory, being a historically unique tool for the use of Böhtlingk’s Indische Sprüche, has been corrected and completed so that it may serve as an instrument for all those who will consult the three volumes of the great German scholar.
