interesting data can be gathered about local history and the
like, while this region together with the Tarim basin west-
wards was under Tibetan domination from the middle of the
eighth to the middle of the ninth century. It was then that
Buddhism in its Tibetan form first gained that footing in
Central Asia which later on through the conversion of the
conquering Mongols developed into the ecclesiastical pre-
dominance it still retains over a great part of Asia.
The plentiful manuscript remains in Indian Brahmi script
(Fig. 92) have been completely catalogued through the
labours of that nestor of Central-Asian philology, the late
Professor Hoernle, and have proved to comprise texts in three
distinct languages. Most of the texts are Buddhistic, but some
medical. Among the Sanskrit ones I may mention a large
palm-leaf 'Pothi' which, as its material proves, undoubtedly
came from India. It counts among the oldest Indian
manuscripts discovered. One of the ancient languages of
Central Asia, formerly 'unknown' and now designated as
Khotanese or 'Saka', is represented by several dozens of
'Pothis' and rolls, including a gigantic roll over seventy feet
long. The manuscript remains of another ancient tongue,
the Kuchean or 'Tokhari', once spoken in the north of the
Tarim basin and in Turfan, claim special interest, because
this tongue has proved to be more nearly related to the
Italic and Slavonic branches of the Indo-European language
family than to those spoken in Asia.
In a geographical sense nothing, perhaps, illustrates better
the variety of cross-currents of Buddhist propaganda once
meeting at Tun-huang than the fact that there came to light

language of ancient Sogdiana, the region of the present
