A Database of Medieval Chinese Manuscript Texts

The text database is of great importance for the further development of research in ‘Buddhist studies/historical linguistics’. Not only will these precious texts become digitally available, they are also programmed for international research purposes. As such, the database will make Ghent actively part of the new digital research communities in the study of Chinese linguistics and Buddhism.
