[Vinayavibhaṅga]
- Scope & Content:
-
A Mongolian-language scroll written in Mongolian script, likely the Vinayavibhaṅga. The scroll appears to be contemporary with Sloane MS 4093-4095.
Although the contents of the text have yet to be confirmed, they likely contain explanations on rules for Buddhist monks translated from a Sanskrit text into Mongolian. It contains numerous non-Mongolic words, some of which have been rendered incorrectly by the scribe. The text has been incorrectly identified as "Sabaen" on the verso.
Given its similarities to the Persian-language scrolls contained in Sloane MS 4093-4095, it is likely that this scroll was also copied in the 18th century CE.
