This volume presents three manuscripts from the Bajaur Collection (BC), a group of nineteen scrolls discovered at the end of the twentieth century and named after their findspot in northwestern Pakistan. The manuscripts, written in the Gandhari language and Kharosthi script, date to the second century CE. The three scrolls-BC 4, BC 6, and BC 11- contain treatises that focus on the Buddhist concept of non-attachment. This volume is the first in the Gandharan Buddhist Texts series that is devoted to texts belonging to the Mahayana tradition. There are no known versions of these texts in other Buddhist traditions, and it is assumed that they are autographs. Andrea Schlosser provides an overview of the contents of the manuscripts and discusses their context, genre, possible authorship, physical layout, paleography, orthography, phonology, and morphology. Transliteration and translation of the texts are accompanied by notes on difficult terminology, photographs of the reconstructed scrolls, an index of Gandhari words with Sanskrit and Pali equivalents, and a preliminary transliteration of the scroll BC 19"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aGandha?ran Buddhist texts ;$vv. 7. 606 $aBuddhist literature, Gandhari Prakrit$zGandhara (Pakistan and Afghanistan) 606 $aManuscripts, Kharos?t?hi$zGandhara (Pakistan and Afghanistan) 606 $aBuddhist literature, Gandhari Prakrit 606 $aManuscripts, Kharos?t?hi 607 $aGandhara (Pakistan and Afghanistan) 610 $aBuddhism 615 0$aBuddhist literature, Gandhari Prakrit 615 0$aManuscripts, Kharos?t?hi 615 0$aBuddhist literature, Gandhari Prakrit. 615 0$aManuscripts, Kharos?t?hi. 676 $a294.38 700 $aSchlosser$b Andrea$01263000 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910595454303321 996 $aThree Early Mah?y?na Treatises from Gandh?ra$92956703 997 $aUNINA
