Narrative Visions and Visual Narratives in Indian Buddhism by Appleton
This volume explores the interaction between text and image in Indian Buddhist contexts, including not only the complex relationship between verbal stories and visual representations at Indian sites, but also the ways in which visual imagery is used within textual narratives.
