[INDOLOGY] A manuscript written in unknown scripts

[Aleix Ruiz Falqués]

Dear Shihong Zhao,

This is a Pali manuscript written in Old Burmese script, otherwise known as
Square Script or Tamarind-seed Script. It contains the Kaccāyana Pali
grammar, only the suttas, wihtout the gloss (vutti), which is quite
remarkable. I have never seen a Kaccāyana manuscript written in the old
script and I have never seen a Kaccāyana manuscript without the gloss. Old
Burmese Script is normally used in kammavācā texts.

Do you know the origin of the manuscript? Any date?

Best wishes,
Aleix
