Receptacle of the Sacred: Illustrated Manuscripts and the Buddhist Book Cult in South Asia - South Asia Across the Disciplines
Jinah Kim
In considering medieval illustrated Buddhist manuscripts as sacred objects of cultic innovation, this book explores how and why South Asian Buddhist book-cult has survived for almost two millennia to present. It also shows how human agency was critical in perpetuating and intensifying the potency of a manuscript as a sacred object throughout time.
