| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research project is to study on a huge cache of Buddhist manuscript fragments written in various kinds of Indic script discovered from the ruins of a stone monastery in the Zargaran district located in the eastern part of the Bamiyan valley during the early 1990s. These various manuscripts are preserved by different collectors in Europe and America, as well as Japan, with the most representative one being the Schoyen Collection of Norway. An international joint research team has begun to decipher these manuscripts, and the results of our research findings have been published in three volumes and the forth one will be released in Oslo in the near future as a result of the four years research project.
