This project studies a corpus of manuscripts bearing one of the most popular and widespread Buddhist writings in Laos and Thailand, namely preaching or homiletic texts called anisong. Manuscripts containing anisong texts, written on palm-leaf or mulberry paper, are used in various kinds of ceremonies carried out by monks and novices. Acting as an incentive for offerings made to monasteries and the community of monks (sangha), they serve an important function in the social and economic relationship between laity and sangha. The main corpus of anisong manuscripts to be studied is from Luang Prabang, the ancient royal capital of Laos where the practice of anisong is still alive. This corpus, which for a greater part is accurately dated, is augmented by anisong manuscripts from northern Thailand, northeastern Thailand, and neighbouring Tai speaking areas in eastern Myanmar and southwestern China. The project seeks to address the following questions: What do the paratexts (notably the often lengthy colophons) reveal about the scribes, sponsors and donors of the manuscripts, their social background and personal aspirations? How have these cultural practices related to anisong changed over time, in particular in the age of printing? Moreover, the project investigates the transformation in the regional manuscript culture(s) in the Dhamma script cultural domain with regard to the materiality, such as changes of writing support and writing substances, but also to script, book form and visual organization. Finally, the socio-economic aspects for the production, circulation, and usage of anisong manuscripts especially in those areas where the local manuscript culture has been a living tradition until present day.

该项目研究了一批手稿，其中包含老挝和泰国最受欢迎，最广泛的佛教著作之一，即宣讲或同性恋文本，称为Anisong。在棕榈叶或桑paper上写的包含Anisong文本的手稿在僧侣和新手进行的各种仪式中使用。它们是对修道院和僧侣社区（Sangha）提供的奉献的动力，在Laity和Sangha之间的社会和经济关系中起着重要的作用。 Anisong手稿的主要语料库是从老挝古老的皇家首都Luang Prabang那里进行的，Anisong的实践仍然活着。该语料库的准确性准确，它被来自泰国北部，泰国东北部的Anisong手稿以及缅甸东部和中国西南部的邻近的Tai Speaking地区所增强。该项目旨在解决以下问题：Paratexts（尤其是经常冗长的圆顶）揭示了有关手稿的抄写员，赞助商和捐助者，他们的社会背景和个人愿望？这些文化实践与Anisong有关，特别是在印刷时代发生了什么变化？此外，该项目研究了有关重要性的佛法脚本文化领域中区域手稿文化的转变，例如写作支持和写作物质的变化，以及脚本，书籍形式和视觉组织。最后，尤其是在当地手稿文化一直是一种生动传统的领域，尤其是在那些直到今天，尤其是在那些领域，尤其是在那些领域，尤其是在那些直到今天的传统中，尤其是在生产，流通和使用的社会经济方面。
