I think it only started to get interesting in the 700s. No accounting for taste!

Depends on whether you think they were serious or trolling. I favor the “elaborate joke” interpretation (although as a matter of taste rather than historiography).

Partly cos I've just established that the Sanskrit Heart Sutra is an elaborate hoax.

I was surprised and delighted by the insights offered by the bibliographers. Like minds!
