In 'Eighteen Lectures on Dunhuang', Rong Xinjiang provides an accessible overview
of Dunhuang studies, an academic field that emerged following the discovery of a medieval
monastic library at the Mogao caves near Dunhuang. The manuscripts were hidden in
a cave at the beginning of the 11th century and remained unnoticed until 1900, when
a Daoist monk accidentally found them and subsequently sold most of them to foreign
explorers and scholars. The availability of this unprecedented amount of first-hand
material from China's middle period provided a stimulus for a number of scholarlyfields
both in China and the West. Rong Xinjiang's book provides, for the first time in English,
a convenient summary of the history of Dunhuang studies and its contribution to scholarship
