Editorial: From the Newsletter to the Bulletin

Scope and objectives of the Comparative Oriental Manuscript Studies Bulletin remain within the traditional framework of the COMSt interests, yet there is an even more pronounced ambition of documenting immediately, clearly, still with a standard of excellence and according to the most advanced scholarly requirements, new ideas, experiences, projects and approaches within the whole world of oriental and comparative (even non-oriental, this is in the end the twofold valence of the red dot in our logo) manuscript studies, both in the form of longer articles, notes, projects announcements and reviews.
