Résumé de la conférence :
In 2005, a large corpus of manuscripts was discovered in the Sino-Tibetan borderlands constituting the ritual repertoire of the Leyu (le’u) priests. Preliminary investigations suggest these texts contain non- Buddhist rituals and narratives resembling early sources from Dunhuang. This collection of approximately
100,000 manuscript pages forms the corpus currently investigated by the PaganTibet project, offering an
unprecedented opportunity to reconstruct pre-Buddhist Tibetan religious traditions. This talk examines how the PaganTibet project employs digital humanities approaches, particularly handwritten text recognition (HTR) and natural language processing (NLP) methods, to enable deeper textual analysis.
