Name one of the oldest books in the world. Write a few sentences about this book.

Dear Student,
People considered The Diamond Sutra as the oldest book, a Buddhist religious text. While the book dates back to the year 868 AD, it was found only in 1907, having remained hidden for nearly a 1,000 years.The Diamond Sutra is a Mahayan sutra from the genre of Pragyanparimita Sutras. The exact date of the composition of the Diamond Sūtra in Sanskrit is uncertain—arguments for the 2nd and 5th centuries have been made.The first translation of the Diamond Sūtra into Chinese is thought to have been made in 401 by the venerated and prolific translator Kumarajiva.
Regards
