This is not a separate work: it is UNESCO's own inscription record for the Ancient Naxi Dongba Literature Manuscripts, one entry in the Memory of the World Register, the same continuously maintained official register this atlas also records as a general source. It descends from that register rather than standing beside it, so citing this entry alongside the general Memory of the World Register record, or alongside its other linked entry, is one institutional voice, not corroboration. Its real limit is the register's own limit: an official designation record produced for the purpose of recognition and preservation, not an independent codicological or historical study. Use it for this document collection's inscription status and the programme's own stated account of its significance; a claim about its deeper history or authenticity needs a source produced outside UNESCO.
