Australian scientists have uncovered what they believe are the earliest 
examples of Buddhist literature. Carbon dating of rare manuscripts from a 
private collection dubbed the "Dead Sea scrolls of Buddhism" may reveal the 
religion's ancient origins.

Not a very informative article, though.  I suspect they may be items from 
the Schoyen collection.

Best wishes,
