With kind assistance from, firstly,
Jenny Ferreux (librarian at the Institut d'études tibétaines at the Collège de France)
and subsequently from
Dr. Nathalie Monnet (Conservateur en chef, Chargée des fonds chinois, Bibliothèque nationale de France),
we eventually identified the manuscript R.A.Stein had referred to as Tibétain n° 493.
Many thanks - merci beaucoup! - for their patient and apposite responses.
The catalogue for the BnF Tibetan manuscripts is in the Asia texts reading room at 5 rue Vivienne, a temporary entrance while building works go on...
