Errata

To the Centenary Library

It is perhaps inevitable in the printing of such a large work as the SRI AUROBINDO BIRTH CENTENARY LIBRARY that some typographical and other errors should find their way into the texts. The more significant of those which have come to light are listed below. Obvious mistakes of spelling, punctuation, etc. which would cause no confusion to the reader have been omitted from the list, although all errors are, of course, being rectified in the facsimile editions of Sri Aurobindo's works which are currently being reproduced photographically from the SRI AUROBINDO BIRTH CENTENARY LIBRARY editions.

The list includes not only errors found by us or by observant readers in the course of normal reading, but several discovered during a systematic search which has been initiated with a view to making the texts perfect. So far verificatory readings of The Life Divine and Savitri have been undertaken in order to compare the present texts not only with the first edition, but also with the original manuscripts, corrected typed copies and proof sheets.

Recent bibliographical research indicates that some of Sri Aurobindo's writings assigned by us to one period of his literary activity actually belong to another. Thus The Genius of Valmiki (Volume 3, page 137), the lyric "Perfect thy motion" (Volume 5, page 7) and the dramatic fragment "Achab — Esarhaddon" (Volume 7, page 1085) all seem to have been written in Pondicherry and not, as stated, in Baroda or England. Certain other minor errors occurring in the Bibliographical Notes at the end of one or two of the volumes will be corrected in future editions.
