The oldest known printed book that can be clearly dated is a copy of the Sanskrit Vajracchedika- prajnaparamitasutra (Buddha's Diamond Sutra), dated by its maker on May 11, 868 AD in China. It is one of Buddhism's greatest treasures.

To make the book, seven rolls of paper were printed with wooden blocks, then cut and glued together. It is written in Chinese, with elaborately detailed illustrations of the Buddha and his disciples.

Although the Diamond Sutra is the oldest dated book, it is not the oldest printed work. Wood block printing was known for more than 100 years prior to the Diamond Sutra's printing.

The original Diamond Sutra is at the British Library Exhibition Galleries.

See an interactive viewing of the Diamond Sutra along with a number of other old manuscripts, at Turning the Pages™ site of the British Library.
