One of the reasons why this volume has been conceived is to show the importance of the interdisciplinary work to progress in any fields of study. It reflects the ideas underlying a Marie Sklodowska Curie Project entitled "Tibeta Book Evolution and Technology (TiBET), and a correlated AHRC project entitled "Transforming Technologies and Buddhist Book Culture: The Introduction of Printing and Digital Text Reproduction in Tibetan Societies" (TTBBC, 2010-2015) which were both carried out at Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies Unit, University of Cambridge. This book may be considered as an interdisciplinary tool for scholars working on Tibetan manuscripts and xylographs from multifarious perspectives (codicological, historical, artistic, anthropological, etc.), but it is also addressed to a wider audience, namely to codicologists, paper conservators, biologists, art historians, IT experts interested in projects involving digital humanities, history, archival documents, and so on.

Abstract
One of the reasons why this volume has been conceived is to show the importance of the interdisciplinary work to progress in any fields of study. It reflects the ideas underlying a Marie Sklodowska Curie Project entitled "Tibeta Book Evolution and Technology (TiBET), and a correlated AHRC project entitled "Transforming Technologies and Buddhist Book Culture: The Introduction of Printing and Digital Text Reproduction in Tibetan Societies" (TTBBC, 2010-2015) which were both carried out at Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies Unit, University of Cambridge. This book may be considered as an interdisciplinary tool for scholars working on Tibetan manuscripts and xylographs from multifarious perspectives (codicological, historical, artistic, anthropological, etc.), but it is also addressed to a wider audience, namely to codicologists, paper conservators, biologists, art historians, IT experts interested in projects involving digital humanities, history, archival documents, and so on.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
