Description
Scope and content : One of 11 folios of the same text acquired by Clarmont Skrine during his period as British Consul-General in Kashgar (1922-24). They were probably purchased from local collectors, Badruddin or Moldovack (see Sims-Williams and Waugh 2010). The original probably consisted of about 82 folios: 28 are extant, the others in the IOM in St Petersburg, and the BBAW in Berlin.
