Rich,

Did you check the following?

L. Sander, Paläographisches zu den Sanskrithandschriften der Berliner Turfansammlung, (Wiesbaden 1968), pp. 7-21.  This is excerpted in Tatsami Tarai’s 2010 dissertation:

In Eli Franco’s The Spitzer Manuscript: The Oldest Philosophical Manuscript in Sanskrit (Vienna, 2004), pp. 1-2, he mentions that Grünwedel (in Altbuddhistische Kultstätten in Chinesisch-Turkistan) disputed von le Coq’s own account of the discovery (in Von Land und Leuten in Ostturkistan, pp. 82 ff.).  Grünwedel can be consulted here:

Try a search such as this one in the Digital Silk Road Project’s Digital Archive of Toyo Bunko Rare Books

Does anyone happen to know of a detailed description of the

circumstances of discovery of Sanskrit and Tocharian manuscripts in the

"Rotkuppelraum" at Qyzyl by A. von le Coq? (This is only very cursorily

described in his "Buried Treasures of Chinese Turkestan", p.126 of the

English version.)

Also, is there a convenient comprehensive list of the manuscripts that

came from this cave?

Thanks

Rich Salomon
