I think it does make sense. The various schools do tend to have their color preferences or preferences even for shades of color.

In my perusal of Tibetan xylograph editions, I have noticed yellow-edged books published at Bla brang, sKu 'bum, Chab mdo Byams pa gling, and lCags po ri (all dGe lugs affiliated) and red-edged books from rTsib ri, sDe dge, and other non-Dge lugs affiliated monasteries. But I also have not seen mention of this trend in any textual source.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10223576072162616242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074476096730461911.post-32340236369491402572014-07-19T05:17:07.631-07:002014-07-19T05:17:07.631-07:00I thought red hat school books all had red edged p...I thought red hat school books all had red edged pages, while yellow hat school books had yellow edged pages, and Sakya books always had purple edged pages. <br />If you believe this, you might also believe that <i>gtan-zhal</i> blog I wrote in your honor.<br />One idea: it was originally <i>dri-bzang</i>, or saffron, that was painted around the book-edges to infuse the pages with blessings.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.com
