The many documents conserved at the "Vincenzo Joppi" Civic Library in Udine (the Fondo Tessitori collection) and at the residence of Tessitori's nephew at Reana del Rojale (the Archivio Peano) bear eloquent witness to the activities of the Italian Indological scholar. The Fondo Tessitori was donated by the Tessitori family in 1923 to the Civic Library and is a heritage of immense interest to all branches of Indological studies. The collection comprises 225 manuscripts, in Sanskrit, Prakrits, Apabhramça and Old Marwari, acquired by Luigi Pio Tessitori at Jaipur in 1915. Of these documents, MS 4510 deserves a special mention. Written in Sanskrit and illuminated with miniatures in the Rajput style, the manuscript recounts an episode from the Mârkandeya Purâna. At the residence of Tessitori's nephew, the unpublished documents of the eminent Indologist from Udine are conserved in the Archivio Peano, which comprises seven sections.
