Since then over 300 early thankas have appeared. These works provide a plethora of new data for the art historian, and their study had transformed our understanding of their iconography and chronology. They have also transformed our knowledge of early Tibetan History and monasticism. However, there has a yet been no book exclusively devoted to the subject.
