In 2008, an international team of climbers discovered a large
collection of Tibetan manuscripts in a cave complex called
Mardzong, in Nepal's remote Mustang district. The following year,
the entire cache-over five thousand folios from some sixty
different works of the Buddhist and Boen religions, some more than
seven centuries old-were removed to the safe keeping of a
monastery, where they were later examined by experts from different
disciplines. This book is the result of their findings. The authors
present what they have been able to discover about the content of
these manuscripts, their age, the materials with which they were
made, the patrons who commissioned them and the scribes and artists
who created them. Contributors include: Agnieszka Helman-Wazny,
Charles Ramble, Nyima Drandul Gurung, Naljor Tsering, Sarah
Skumanov, Emilie Arnaud-Nguyen and Bazhen Zeren
