Original Recipe Text
The material is described as part of an MTM (Multi-Text Manuscript) booklet, originally produced for the commemoration of the dead (p. 334-335). The fragments (S.3551, Dx-962, Pelliot tibétain 1262) were once part of the same physical object (p. 334).
Evidence
"Similarly, our knowledge that S.3551 is an MTM booklet probably produced as part of the commemoration of the dead"
Remarks
The physical form of the manuscript was often ignored in early publications which prioritized text, leading to the cropping of margins and edges in reproductions (p. 335). Access to high-resolution images allowed scholars to straddle linguistic divides and reconnect these disjointed parts (p. 336).
