Description

Explore the deep connections between religious practice and material history with Buddhist Manuscript Cultures. Part of the Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism series, this work moves beyond standard doctrinal studies to examine how the physical form of a text shapes its role in society. By focusing on how and why manuscripts were produced, this book provides a unique look at the intersection of literary traditions and artistic expression in premodern Asia. It examines the significance of material forms, offering a perspective that treats texts and images as active ritual objects within Buddhist cultures. This study uses various case studies to provide cross-cultural and comparative insights. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in the transmission of knowledge and the aesthetic traditions that define Buddhist material culture. Readers will gain a better understanding of how religious practices were shaped by the very objects used to record and communicate them.
