In the West, we work to preserve artifacts from all the cultures of the world. They all have value.
In an Islamic world, this document would be joyously crushed under the boots of a celebrating crowd.

They all have value.A shocking number of people here on FR would disagree with that.

"The accuracy of existing printed copies of the Sarvamoola granthas is unknown."
Heh heh... it is curious that the manuscript has been (sort of) preserved, but no one is sure if the copies are correct, but I suppose that's a consequence of the one and only original being unreadable at present. Presumably other scribal copies were made from which printed copies derive?
