The manuscripts have been discovered in 1900 in a sealed-off side-chamber of a Buddhist cave temple, where they had lain undisturbed for for almost nine hundred years. The discovery comprised tens of thousands of texts, written in over twenty different languages and scripts, including Chinese, Tibetan, Old Uighur, Khotanese, Sogdian and Sanskrit. This study centres around four groups of manuscripts from the mid-ninth to the late tenth centuries, a period when the region was an independent kingdom ruled by local families. The central argument is that the manuscripts attest to the unique cultural diversity of the region during this period, exhibiting?alongside obvious Chinese elements?the heavy influence of Central Asian cultures. As a result, it was much less ?Chinese? than commonly portrayed in modern scholarship. The book makes a contribution to the study of cultural and linguistic interaction along the Silk Roads. 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / Chinese$2bisacsh 607 $aDunhuang (China)$xHistory 610 $aCentral Asia. 610 $aChinese manuscripts. 610 $aDunhuang manuscripts. 610 $aSilk Road. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Asian / Chinese. 700 $aGalambos$b Imre$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0697324 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996398646003316 996 $aDunhuang Manuscript Culture$91949391 997 $aUNISA
