Description

Buddhist Manuscript Cultures explores how religious and cultural practices in premodern Asia were shaped by literary and artistic traditions alongside Buddhist material culture. This scholarly study shifts focus from doctrinal contents to the material forms of Buddhist texts, examining how and why they were created and used. The book provides cross-cultural and comparative insights into the transmission of Buddhist knowledge, revealing how texts and images functioned as ritual objects within the artistic and aesthetic traditions of Buddhist cultures. Drawing on detailed case studies from multiple regions, this Routledge critical study offers researchers, scholars, and students of Buddhism, Asian history, and material culture a comprehensive exploration of manuscript practices that bridges textual scholarship with archaeological and art historical perspectives.

Key Features
