The Chinese Pothi: A Missing Link in the History of the Chinese Book
Imre Galambos
Abstrak
This paper examines Chinese pothi manuscripts from Dunhuang, arguing that this book form played an important role in the history of the Chinese book. Ultimately emulating Indian palm leaf manuscripts, the few dozen examples of Chinese pothi come from Dunhuang, where they appeared during the Tibetan control of the region. Rather than being a local phenomenon, the pothi form was instrumental in the development of more mainstream book forms, most notably the concertina.
