TibSchol explores the formative phase of the Tibetan Buddhist scholastic tradition from the 11th to 13th century — an exceptionally active period of Tibetan scholarly creativity.
- Who were the individuals involved in the early Tibetan scholastic tradition?
- What connections existed between them and with enclaves of learning?
- What works did they compose, teach, and study?
- What was the extent of the diffusion and the mode of circulation of these works?
This website offers interactive visualisations to help explore these questions—through networks, trees, and topic-based views of individuals, works and places. Please note that this is an experimental research tool, and the data and interface are still evolving. Interpret results with care, as the dataset is not yet fully validated or comprehensive.
