Immediate Source of Acquisition

This collection was a purchase from Asia Bookroom by the Small Special Collections Library at the University of Virginia on 9, April, 2019.

48 panels with text or illustrations on both sides. Written in either Tai Khuen or Tai Lue, two very similar scripts. The speakers of these languages are found in northern Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. This manuscript appears to have come from Myanmar, and contains protective mantras and yantra designs for candles.
