 cuts in the Mongol Empire"\n\nPresenter: Shih-shan Susan Huang\, Associate
  Professor\, Rice University\, Department of Transnational Asian Studies.\
 n\nElite Uighurs active in China under Mongol rule in the thirteenth and f
 ourteenth centuries played major roles as cultural middlemen in Buddhist b

  and transmitters of Buddhist books over long distances. It draws on Buddh
 ist woodcuts excavated in Turfan\, and epigraphic sources found in southea
 st and northwest China. Taken together with the Mongol postal system\, the
  elite Uighurs’ vast network extending from China to the Uighur homeland
  in Central Asia\, and to Buddhist countries in South and Southeast Asia c
 an all shed light on how Buddhist books and woodcuts were circulated.\n\nZ
