They also explained that in their country, sacred texts on palm leaves have not been copied by hand for a long time, but are printed using the woodcut method, from engraved wooden blocks. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to find out how this is done in Burma, but all these years this thought has not left my head.

Hello Serge,

I know that the Bali Aga people still write on palm leaves which get sold to tourists but I can't remember how the script gets written. But I have no knowledge how it's done in Burma, so my question.

Best regards,
Detlef
