Written sources on Yao religion - A research project
Institute for East Asian Studies, University of Munich, Germany
Supplied note:
"The Munich Yao project, initiated in Oct 1995, is based on a
collection of more than 1000 Yao manuscripts, acquired by the
Department for Rare Manuscripts of the Munich Bavarian State Library
during the last few years. The manuscripts date from the beginning of
the 18th to the eighties of the 20th century and originate from
Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, and the southern provinces of China.
The project aims at computer supported cataloguing, classifying, and
analysing of the manuscripts with special regard to date, regional
origin, and persons mentioned. The resulting catalogue will be
published as part of the 'Index to Oriental Manuscripts in Germany'
(Verzeichnis der orientalischen Handschriften in Deutschland). An
exhibition of the most remarkable manuscripts in the Bavarian State
Library from Nov 4th to Dec 22nd 1999 will conclude the
project."
