Currently #digitising Or.8210/S.5682, a small booklet for the #LotusSutraProject. Curiously it has a little flap in the middle - we digitised each side of it, treating each flap as its own folio. (Imaging: @IssyR_L)
Anyone know what it's for?
#Conserved & #digitised by the #LotusSutraProject: Or.8210/S.3348 is over 10m and contains all chapters from the 4th Juan of the Lotus Sutra.
View the whole scroll on Wiki-commons with bilingual descriptions! It still has its original wooden roller 👉 https://t.co/Wcf3bTnTBE

Successful troubleshooting! It's very satisfying to see #LotusSutraProject metadata appearing on Wikidata. Thanks for your help and patience, @BL_Wikimedian!
Spent a lovely hour this morning with @laurakpar doing some troubleshooting on Wikidata. It seems trite to say it but sometimes it's nice to just sift through some data and turn some red into green.
#Conserved & #digitised by the #LotusSutraProject: At 11.7 metres long, Or.8210/S.1375 is one of the longest scrolls in the Project. It's been carefully flattened & repaired for safe digitisation & ongoing preservation. #ManuscriptMonday
