The manuscript has been created as a composite object from three separate documents, with Chinese and Tibetan texts on them. Included is a series of Tibetan letters of introduction addressed to the heads of monasteries along the route, functioning as a passport when passing through the region. The manuscript dates to the late 960s, coinciding with the large pilgrimage movement during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Northern Song recorded in transmitted sources. Therefore, it is very likely that this is a unique contemporary testimony of the movement, of which our pilgrim was also part. Complementing extant historical sources, the manuscript provides evidence for the high degree of ethnic, cultural and linguistic diversity in Western China during this period. 410 0$aStudies in manuscript cultures ;$v2. 606 $aBuddhist pilgrims and pilgrimages$zChina 606 $aBuddhist pilgrims and pilgrimages$zTibet Region 610 $aChina. 610 $aManuscripts. 610 $aTibet. 615 0$aBuddhist pilgrims and pilgrimages 615 0$aBuddhist pilgrims and pilgrimages 676 $a294.3/43510951509021 686 $aBE 8151$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $aVan Schaik$b Sam$0693739 701 $aDaozhao$f10th cent.$01571365 701 $aGalambos$b Imre$0697324 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789887303321 996 $aManuscripts and travellers$93845751 997 $aUNINA
