The six contributions presented here represent refinements in substance and method characterizing current work in this area. A chapter by Brandon Dotson provides a new perspective on law and divination under the empire, while the post-imperial international relations of the Tsong kha kingdom are analyzed by Bianca Horlemann. In ?The History of the Cycle of Birth and Death?, Yoshiro Imaeda?s investigation of a Dunhuang narrative appears in a revised edition, in English for the first time. The problem of oral transmission in relation to the Tibetan Dunhuang texts is then taken up in the contribution of Sam van Schaik. In the final section, Matthew Kapstein and Carmen Meinert consider aspects of Chinese Buddhism in their relation to religious developments in Tibet. 410 0$aBrill's Tibetan studies library ;$vv. 14. 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xHistory 607 $aTibet Autonomous Region (China)$xCivilization 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a951.8 701 $aKapstein$b Matthew$0777952 701 $aDotson$b Brandon$f1978-$0855738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453904303321 996 $aContributions to the cultural history of early Tibet$91910568 997 $aUNINA
