Turfan collection in three volumes was completed in 2018. These fragments belong to
the literature of the Manichaean, Buddhist and Christian communities in Turfan. Some
specimens and pecularities of these fragments referring to codicology, illustrations,
headlines and numbering of folios will be presented.
