Biography
Aufrecht was born in
In 1875, Aufrecht was appointed to the chair of indology at the University of Bonn, and remained at that post until 1889. Between 1891 and 1903, he published a three volume alphabetical catalogue of all Sanskrit manuscript collections known at the time, in a work titled, Catalogus Catalogorum. This was the first such attempt to catalogue all Indian manuscripts, built on Aufrecht's previous catalogues of Sanskrit manuscripts of libraries of Trinity College, Cambridge (1869),[5] Florence (1892), Leipzig (1901), and München (1909). Beginning in 1935, the University of Madras began working on an updated catalogue called the New Catalogus Catalogorum, which was completed in 2019 with the publication of its 42nd volume.
Aufrecht died in Bonn.
