Dodedrak / Dodedra manuscript Kanjur

Description:

"Dodedra, literally the 'cliff of scriptures', was established in 1779 by the 13th Chief Abbot Yonten Thaye (1724-84) and became also the seat of the 18th and 27th Chief Abbots of Bhutan. Its collection contains over 200 volumes of rare and interesting books including manuscripts of many local writings by Yonten Thaye, Shakya Rinchen, Sherab Gyaltshen and Jigme Norbu. It is believed that the collection contains unique short works by Yonten Thaye composed in the local vernacular although this is yet to be confirmed. The collection also contains manuscripts of the texts attributed to the 16th century Tibetan treasure discoverer Tshewang Gyalpo." (source EAP.bl.uk)
