Description
This catalogue describes the 2500 Khotanese manuscripts in the British Library's Aurel Stein and other Central Asian collections, including Buddhist and secular texts that enhance our understanding of northern Mahayana (as well as Vajrayana at Dunhuang) and the history of the southern Silk Road in the 5th-10th centuries. It includes a comprehensive introduction to the collections and the historical background of the manuscripts.
