Evidence
"In Dunhuang, and at times in the Tarim Basin too, we find pothis in portrait format due to the orientation of writing systems such as Chinese and Uyghur."
Remarks
Paper pothis in Dunhuang are often in portrait format, differing from the typical landscape landscape orientation of palm-leaf pothis (p. 155). Holes for thread binding are visible on the folios (p. 161).
