Eight sets of undated Buddhist sacred works on palm fronds, including a set labeled "Bali"; a set inscribed "To Mrs. J. Livingston Taylor, Buddhist sacred book used for many years by a Buddhist priest at a temple. Bangkok, Siam, Eugene P. Dunlop"; and a set inscribed "IV." This last set was likely presented to the Seminary by John R. Mott in May 1939. A note written by Samuel Zwemer indicates that a bronze or copper plate was used in printing the text.
