本研究采用纸纤维分析法，结合文献、古文字和文字资料，对敦煌藏经洞藏现存最早的藏文纸进行了研究。用这种方法检验的假设涉及早期西藏纸张的区域起源和生产中心以及确定这种材料的年代的方法。使用重叠的类型学，我们将样本的手稿分为连贯的群体，将它们与特定的“书籍文化”。通过将三个主要的手稿组与不同的地理区域联系起来，我们对一个重要的手稿集提供了新的见解，并表明重叠类型学的方法有可能产生进一步的见解。
This study investigates the earliest surviving Tibetan paper, from the Dunhuang cave library, using paper fibre analysis combined with codicological, palaeographical and textual information. The hypotheses tested by this method concern the regional origins and production centres of early Tibetan paper and methods for dating this material. Using overlapping typologies, we classify a sample of manuscripts into coherent groups, relating them to particular ‘book cultures’. By linking three main manuscript groups to different geographical regions, we offer new insights into an important manuscript collection, and show that the method of overlapping typologies has the potential to yield further insights.
