A collaborative volume Bon and Naxi Manuscripts, edited by Agnieszka Helman-Ważny and Charles Rumble, which is the result of workshops at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures in 2016-2022, was published by De Gruyter in 2023. This is ‘the first primarily object-based study on the cultural history and technology of books from the Tibetan Bon and Naxi Dongba traditions’ which ‘discusses the relationship between text and image, writing materials, and the historical and archaeological context of the manuscripts’ places of origin.’ (CSMC news). The volume is available as open access and can be downoalded from the publisher’s website.
