About the Book
Volume II of Tibetan Manuscripts and Early Printed Books explores the major categories of traditional Tibetan books, introducing their specific features and the main approaches to their study.
In five major sections, it surveys manuscript collections including Buddhist scriptural canons, official and administrative documents, works on technical subjects—medicine, veterinary practice, liturgical chant, and the arts of divination—and Tibetan books from China and Mongolia. Two case studies exemplify the roles of paleographic and iconographic analysis in the examination of antique manuscripts.
