Richardson gained access, from Burmiok Athing, to photographic negatives of manuscript copies of six Tibetan imperial period stone inscriptions, apparently collected by Ka: thog Rig ‘dzin Tshe dbang Nor bu (1698-1755).
Throughout Richardson’s subsequent publications on stelae he referred to these 6 transcriptions and employed them in his own editions of the inscriptions. However, the transcriptions have not previously been published, and thus many of Richardson's readings could not be verified by other scholars. Additionally, one of the transcriptions is the only extant evidence of a 9th-century inscription which is now too eroded to be read (‘Phyong rgyas bridge-head pillar). In late 2010 Richardson's photographic negatives of these manuscript transcriptions of stelae inscriptions were serendipitously discovered in Oxford's Bodleian Library.
The photographs have been made available online in September 2011 at

This article looks at the textual sources for Karma Pakshi's life, as a mentor to two Mongol emperors (Mongke and Kubilai) and the founding figure of a tradition.
