All engravings are fully reproduced in detailed photographs of the cave walls. They are juxtaposed with photographs of ink rubbings or visualizations of 3D laser scans. The texts are transcribed with a scholarly apparatus noting textual variants and variant characters in the calligraphy.
An essay by Lothar Ledderose presents the two sections and highlights their peculiarities and their significance. In his magisterial study on The *Suvarnabhasottama-sutra Michael Radich presents a comprehensive analysis of the textual history of the Synoptic Golden Light Sutra, and elucidates the singularity of this particular version in the Grove.
The texts are in Chinese and English throughout.
