DESCRIPTION:Guest lecture by Channa Li (Vienna)\n\nThe lecture is availabl
 e live at Zoom. Please pre-register here until 12 October 2020\, 12 pm. 
 \n\nManuscripts are not only bearers of texts but also artefacts. Beyond c
 onveying intellectual or literary messages\, a manuscript is per se an arc
 haeological object\, the tangible outcome of social and human endeavor. In
  her presentation Channa Li is about to establish a typology of the callig
 raphy of Chos grub\, the famous bilingual translator from Dunhuang. Siftin
 g through the manuscripts falling into Chos grub’s intellectual ‘legac
 y’ this presentation seeks to contribute to a better reading of manuscri
 pts with this certain type of script and\, moreover\, serves as the benchm
 ark for further recognition of Chos grub’s works.\n\nChanna Li is curren
 tly a Post-doc Research Associate in IKGA\, the Austria Academy of Science
 s. With a Ph.D. at Leiden University in 2019\, her fields of interest rang
 e widely from the Buddhist cultures and materials along the Silk Road (esp
 . Dunhuang\, Kizil)\, to the significance of Buddhist narratives in helpin
 g us visualise the ideological history of Buddhism in ancient India\, Chin
 a\, and Tibet. She also focuses on Buddhist Mahāyāna translations made b
 y medieval Chinese and Tibetan monks\, especially Tibetan sūtras translat
 ed from Chinese.
