Om denne e-boken

""Tibetan Manuscript Systems"" explores the sophisticated methods used in ancient Tibet to preserve and organize their vast collection of manuscripts. This academic work illuminates how Tibetans, despite their geographic isolation, developed a complex scribal culture to safeguard religious doctrines, legal codes, and administrative records. The book highlights intriguing facts, such as the meticulous training regimes for scribes and the elaborate preservation techniques used to protect texts from deterioration, crucial for maintaining cultural continuity and societal stability.

The book approaches this topic by first providing historical and cultural context of ancient Tibet. It then delves into the materials and methods used in manuscript production, the training and social roles of scribes, and the organizational structures employed to manage textual materials. By examining monastic records and administrative documents, the book reveals how these systems were integral to the transmission of Tibetan Buddhism and statecraft, offering a unique case study in knowledge management within a pre-modern society and connecting to broader fields like history of the book and archival science.
