==Nomenclature== The title ''Manusmriti'' is a relatively modern term and a late innovation, probably coined because the text is in a verse form.<ref name=olivelle18/> The over-fifty manuscripts discovered of the text never use this title, but state the title as ''Manava Dharmashastra'' (Sanskrit: मानव धर्मशास्त्र) in their [[Colophon (publishing)|colophon]]s at the end of each chapter. In modern scholarship, these two titles refer to the same text.<ref name=olivelle18>Patrick Olivelle (2005), ''[https://books.google.com/books?id=PnHo02RtONMC&pg=PA18 Manu's Code of Law]'', Oxford University Press, {{ISBN|978-0195171464}}, pp. 18–19, 41</ref>
