15.5.9.3:12: A WEB OF TANGUT CATALOGUES

Andrew West wrote,

Dozens of Tangut Buddhist manuscripts held at the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts (IOM) in Saint Petersburg have been digitized and made available online at the IDP [International Dunhuang Project] website, but there is no accompanying description or bibliographic information for any of them, and not even the title of the text is given. This makes it difficult for the handful of scholars in the world who can read Tangut to usefully browse the Tangut collection on IDP, and next to impossible for everybody else.

I am one of those scholars. Fortunately, Andrew has come to the rescue with his Web of Tangut Catalogues. Thank you, Andrew!

If only Khitan and Jurchen had as many texts as Tangut!
