| Summary: |
A Tibetan translation of the canonical Buddhist work, whose Sanskrit title is the Daśa-dig-andhakara-vidhvaṃsana-sūtra. The technique of carving a wooden printing block for each page of a book was introduced to Tibet from China under Mongol patronage in the thirteenth century, and was applied to the elongated ‘palm-leaf format already used for manuscripts. Blockprinting led to the mass production of books in Tibet, and has been used for both canonical works and a voluminous output of biographical, historical and other works. The craft still survives alongside manuscript production and modern movable-type printing (Text by Philip Denwood, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.) |
