Manuscripts
Tibetan manuscript. In Tibet, writings and books symbolise scholarship and wisdom, in particular the "perfection of knowledge" (prajnaparmita). Traditionally, Tibetan manuscripts are not bound, but the individual oblong leaves are placed on top of each other between two wooden covers and held together by a ribbon. The upper protective cover is often decorated with an inscription or illustrations. SM8HF
