metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article provides information about the Tocharian B collection of the IOM RAS. It is a
  unique collection of Tocharian B manuscripts in Russia. It includes 87 wooden tablets and
  383 manuscript fragments. Due to historical circumstances, the collection was not put into
  scholarly circulation. Only a few manuscripts have been introduced to the academic community,
  although it would be hard to overestimate the importance of this collection for knowledge
  of Tocharian palaeography and literature. The St Petersburg collection includes manuscript
  fragments from all the Tarim sites where traces of the Tocharians were found. Moreover, they
  are varied in scripts and content. There are fragments in archaic, middle, and late forms of the
  so-called “North Turkestan Brāhmī” script in their calligraphic and cursive variations. Buddhist
  texts are most numerous in terms of content. They include jātakas and avadānas, Āgamarelated
  texts, Abhidharma and Vinaya texts, stotras, and other Hīnayāna and Mahāyāna texts.
  The collection of documents on paper and wooden tablets is of special attractiveness as some
  of the paper documents are complete folios. The article is mainly dedicated to the formation
  of the collection. It also summarizes research already done to introduce the manuscripts to
  the academic community. The references also provide a complete list of publications of the
  collection materials.
