English: Incomplete manuscript of the Dhammapada in Gandhari and in Kharosthi characters. It may have been copied between the end of the 1st century CE and the end of the 3rd century CE, which makes it the one of the oldest known Indian language documents. Its sheets, in birch bark, reinforced in the direction of the height by a string sewn on each side, are about 20 cm wide. Here fragmentary, originally at least 1.23 m long, they were, after reading, folded in on themselves, thus forming notebooks about 20 cm long and 4 to 5 cm thick. Acquired by the Dutreuil de Rhins mission (1891-1894) in Central Asia. Bibliothèque nationale de France, département des Manuscrits, pali 715-A
