Have you ever wondered when the first illustrated manuscript in India was produced?  The earliest dated illustrated Indian manuscript in the world has had all of its illustrations published for the first time in Craig Jamieson's Perfection of Wisdom (New York : Penguin Viking, 2000, ISBN 0670889342 / London : Frances Lincoln, 2000, ISBN 0711215103). It includes a rather moving preface by the Dalai Lama.
 
The date of the manuscript is 997. The illustrations speak for themselves. Anyone interested in Buddhist art, Buddhist manuscripts, the perfection of wisdom or simply Buddhism in general will be interested in this book.
