(Show)
This is a study of the structural elements of Tibetan legal documents. The study is based on a collection of documents dating from the 17th to 20th centuries from southwest Tibet, mainly the areas of Porong (spo rong), Shelkar (shel dkar) and Dingri (ding ri). Specific examples are cited from the collection to demonstrate several types of legal writing. (Ben Deitle 2006-03-09)
