Pala manuscripts

Pala manuscripts refer to a collection of ancient Buddhist texts created during the Pala Empire, which thrived in India from the 8th to the 12th centuries. These manuscripts, written in the Pali language using a script called "Pala script," include important religious and philosophical works, as well as texts on science, medicine, and literature. They reflect the rich cultural and intellectual heritage of the time, with stunning illustrations and intricate designs. Many of these manuscripts are housed in universities and libraries, preserving insights into Buddhist thought and practices that continue to influence cultures today.
