This research will produce scholarly editions, translations, and studies of several of the newly discovered Buddhist manuscripts from ancient Gandhara (modern Afghanistan/Pakistan). These manuscripts, which are the earliest Buddhist manuscripts yet discovered (c. 1st century A.D.), represent the first major find of early Buddhist texts from this region, and some of the first examples of the literature of the Dharmaguptaka school of Buddhism. This research will substantially increase our understanding of the history of Buddhism in this region, of the formation of Buddhist literature, of Gandhari, the ancient language of this region, and of this little understood school of Buddhism.

这项研究将对几部新发现的古代犍陀罗（现代阿富汗/巴基斯坦）佛教手稿进行学术版本、翻译和研究。 这些手稿是迄今为止发现的最早的佛教手稿（c。公元世纪），代表了该地区早期佛教文献的首次重大发现，以及佛教法藏部学派文献的一些首批实例。 这项研究将大大增加我们对这一地区佛教历史、佛教文献的形成、这一地区的古老语言犍陀里语以及这一鲜为人知的佛教流派的了解。
