Document Details : Title: A Letter from Lou-lan mentioning a Title of Manichean Dignitary? Subtitle: A preliminary study Author(s): TALPE, L. Journal: Orientalia Lovaniensia Periodica Volume: 31 Date: 2000 - 2005 Pages: 83-97 DOI: 10.2143/OLP.31.0.565545 Abstract : The author reinvestigates a few documents from Lou-lan, in the Lop-nor region (Miran, Yü-ni), discovered by Sven Hedin and published by Conrady in 1920. The terminology, which suggests that there was a Buddhist community, is brought into a new context and reveals new information. It is suggested, with the necesary reserve, that there might have been a Manichean community in the area between Lou-lan, Wei-lao and Kucha. |
