Although the original provenance of the British Library's Kharosthi scrolls is uncertain, there are strong indications that they came from Hadda in the Jalalabad Plain of eastern Afghanistan, just west of the Khyber Pass.The scrolls were most likely written during the reign of the Saka rulers, in the early first century A.D., making them in all probability the oldest Buddhist texts ever found, as well as the earliest surviving manuscripts in any Indic language. The discovery of the British Library scrolls has brought to light a previously unknown realm of Buddhist literature and scholarship, and revealed that Gandhari was one of the major literary languages of Indian Buddhism. Richard Salomon, professor of Asian languages and literature at the University of Washington, heads the team of scholars constituting the British Library\/ University of Washington Early Buddhist Manuscript Project. He is the author of \"Ancient Buddhist Scrolls from Gandhara: The British Library Kharosthiz Fragments\".\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salomon, Richard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42101547073630,"sku":"200354","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/3677\/0142\/files\/200354_9800a2a4-11f3-4325-9e22-59c3cfe098c8.jpg?v=1760548047"},{"product_id":"6282","title":"Group of Discourses, The (Sutta Nipata) 2nd edition","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont color=\"firebrick\"\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e PTS members must order directly from the PTS.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eOne of the oldest collections of Buddhist discourses in the Pali Canon, constituting a rational, straightforward presentation of the ethics and psychology of Buddhism.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis popular work is written in a mixture of prose and verse.
