Friends,
For those of you who want to learn how to read Grantha, the following
books may be useful. Venugopalan's book is available in an e-copy. I
have looked at Visalakshy's book, which appears to be very well done.
It gives examples from palm leaf manuscripts and copper plates. I
have not had a chance to look at the third book.
Regards,
Bob
