Important Book Of Ancient Tibetan Or Nepalese Buddhist Ritual Sutras

Important ancient Tibetan Nepali Buddhist ritual sutra book with leather binding. 27 double sided pages.

I have done some research into this facinating book and share with you my findings.

• Script: Ranjana
• Language: Sanskrit (likely with Buddhist liturgical content)
• Region: Nepal, Tibet, or Himalayan Buddhist area
• Cover: Leather — suggesting portable or personal devotional use
• Use: Ritual/recitation manuscript for Mañjuśrī invocations and dhāraṇīs
• Region: Nepal or Tibetan Buddhist cultural sphere
• Purpose: Ceremonial or devotional manuscript for recitation, ritual, or preservation
• Script: Ranjana (Lantsa), used to render Sanskrit Buddhist texts
• Nepal (particularly Kathmandu Valley/Newar tradition)
• Or Tibet/Nepal-Tibet border region
The content includes Mañjuśrī mantras, bodhisattva invocations, and siddhi-focused dhāraṇīs — all typical of Tibetan and Newar Buddhist liturgy, especially from the 18th–19th centuries when manuscript copying was a devotional act.
