It might be that the answer to my questions is obvious, so obvious that my query does not deserve any interest. 

But, even if it is so, I would be grateful for a few references to books/papers I should get acquainted with.

Dear List, 

Is there any evidence for Gupta officials being able to read the Brahmi (Aśokan) script? Having knowledge about Aśoka - directly from his Edicts?

Best wishes,
