Dear McComas,

Ch. 1 of my recently edited volumes, Tibetan Manuscripts and Early Printed Books, dealing with the materiality of Tibetan books, includes a number of references to work on pertinent aspects of Indian book production, including palm leaf, birchbark, and ink fabrication.

best,

Matthew

Dear colleagues

What has been written about the materiality of texts and textual production in the realm of Sanskrit literature? I am interested to find out about the ways in which 'books' as physical artefacts and writing as a practical process are addressed in Sanskrit literature.  There is plenty on the history of writing and epigraphy, but I have not yet been able to find much on 'the book' etc - I would be very grateful for any references.

Thanks in advance,

McComas
