Gandhara – Das buddhistische Erbe Pakistans. Legenden, Klöster und Paradiese
Exhibition catalogue: Gandhara – Das Buddhistische Erbe Pakistans. Legenden, Klöster Und Paradiese. Mainz – Bonn: Zabern – Kunst- und Ausstellungshalle der BRD, 2008.
Although not edited by me in the strictest sense, I was responsible for the selection of the authors and the content of their contributions. There also exists an English version of this catalogue, Gandhara The Buddhist Heritage of Pakistan. Legends, Monasteries and Paradise, but this version was printed in a very low number and was never available on the market. I thus give the content of the German version below.

This Section
This section provides more in depth information about my research interests, current research projects and past publications. A complete list of publications is found in the Myself section.
ITBA
I also maintain a content oriented web site on Indian and Tibetan Buddhist Art (ITBA). This site has been created to publish general information on sites and art I and some colleagues have been working on, as well as material complementary to published works. Since such work is not acknowledged much, I can only take very little time to add and update content there.
