F. Babinger, biographer of Isaak Jakob Schmidt (1779-1847), the founder of Mongolian Studies, lists "Two Little Christian Tracts" among his early publications in Mongolian; no later Mongolist apparently ever saw or described this booklet published in 1818. A probably unique copy came to light in the Library of the German Oriental Society and was transcribed and translated by Charles Bawden who is known for his careful studies of Christian missions among the Mongols. The printed text is given in facsimile. A detailed commentary analyzes the text and traces the inconsistent Christian terminology which was apparently still in an experimental stage. Schmidt's Mongolian assistants, Badma and Nomtu, were probably mainly responsible for the translation. A preface informs about the versatile printer N. Grec while an appendix gives mission reports and a related Mongolian correspondence in contemporary German paraphrase.

Christian mission among the Mongols and the beginning of Mongolian Studies were closely affiliated. Europe's first Mongolist, Isaak Jakob Schmidt (1779-1847), rose from the humble position of a clerk at the Moravian Mission settlement at Sarepta (Russia) to a member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. Author of a Mongolian dictionary, a Mongolian grammar and translator of the Geser epic and the chronicle Erdeni-yin tobci, he was also the translator of the New Testament into Mongolian. So far it was assumed that Schmidt had mainly translated into Kalmuck, and two Mongolian nobles had then continued with the further translation into Eastern Mongol. A few years ago Charles Bawden edited and translated a new document found in the library of the German Oriental Society at Halle, the first Christian tract printed in Mongol in St. Petersburg in 1818. The present study focuses on a second tract (probably also 1818) by Schmidt, so far unknown, from the collections of Vilnius University, and includes two of the original versions in Kalmuck which were also tracked down. These tracts allow a closer look at the difficult work of the translator, a glimpse at his workshop, in his efforts to find a congenial rendering for Christian terms. In the light of the results of this study the roles of the translators may have to be reevaluated. There is also an essay to investigate the creation of Kalmuck and Mongolian fonts and the part that the publisher and printer Grec and the Orientalist printing pioneer Schilling von Canstadt (1786-1837) played in it. Transliteration and reproduction of the (Mongol and Kalmuck) tracts and an annotated translation of the second Tract for the Buryats are given as well.

This is the first investigation into the little-known Bolshevik foreign ministry’s strenuous efforts to win Lhasa over to the Soviet cause in the 1920s. Examining the history of relations between Russia (tsarist, Soviet and post-Soviet) and Tibet from the 17th century to the 1990s, the author puts at the core of his narrative the previously unknown story of clandestine negotiations between the Soviet government and the 13th Dalai Lama, forming part of Moscow’s bitter struggle against British imperialism in Asia. The book provides insight into Soviet secret diplomacy and draws important conclusions relating to the history of Anglo-Russian competition for Tibet and Tibet’s status prior to 1951.

The most comprehensive collection of Tibetan works in a Western language, this volume illuminates the complex historical, intellectual, and social development of Tibetan civilization from its earliest beginnings to the modern period. Including more than 180 representative writings, Sources of Tibetan Tradition spans Tibet's vast geography and long history, presenting for the first time a diversity of works by religious and political leaders; scholastic philosophers and contemplative hermits; monks and nuns; poets and artists; and aristocrats and commoners. The selected readings reflect the profound role of Buddhist sources in shaping Tibetan culture while illustrating other major areas of knowledge. Thematically varied, they address history and historiography; political and social theory; law; medicine; divination; rhetoric; aesthetic theory; narrative; travel and geography; folksong; and philosophical and religious learning, all in relation to the unique trajectories of Tibetan civil and scholarly discourse. The editors begin each chapter with a survey of broader social and cultural contexts and introduce each translated text with a concise explanation. Concluding with writings that extend into the early twentieth century, this volume offers an expansive encounter with Tibet's exceptional intellectual heritage.

Buddhism in Buryatia ALEXANDRE ANDREYEV & IRINA GARRI This book provides a succinct historical account of the flourishing of Buddhism in Buryatia, exploring its roots in the introduction of the Gelug order and the establishment of the first monastery in its heartland. Throughout its prime, numerous prominent Buddhist figures, including Agvan Dorzhiev, had significant dharmic connections with Tibet and Mongolia, spreading Buddhism far and wide across the region. Despite facing several political turmoils, war crises, harsh persecutions, and destruction, the people of Buryatia continued to revere Buddhism, successfully reviving it from the ashes and ruins. The era of World War II marked a monstrous period, yet remarkably, after 1980 and into the new millennium, a new and inspiring revival of Buddhism emerged, which continues to be enjoyed by people today. Embrace this book and immerse yourself in the captivating world of Buddhism in Buryatia, witnessing its enduring journey of resilience and devotion.

Ein grosser Teil der traditionellen mongolischen Literatur besteht aus buddhistischen Texten; so verwundert es nicht, dass selbst die Erzählungen einen buddhistischen Einfluss zeigen. Interessante Beispiele sind drei Erzählungszyklen, die aus Indien übernommen, allerdings in ein eigentümliches mongolisches Gewand gekleidet wurden: Die 25 Erzählungen eines Totengespenstes, die Erzählungen von Ardschi-Burdschi sowie die Geschichten der 32 Holzmenschen. Als sie im 19. Jahrhundert ansatzweise in Europa bekannt wurden, regten sie sogleich die Märchen- und Motivforscher zu vergleichenden Untersuchungen an: Wie wanderten diese Erzählungen von Indien nach Europa und welchen Einfluss hatten sie auf die in Europa bekannten Märchen? In diesem Kontext waren verlässliche Texte und Übersetzungen gefragt. In Deutschland interessierte sich besonders der junge Linguist Bernhard Jülg für dieses Material: Er hatte 1846 in Kiel als erster Europäer sein Doktorat mit einer Dissertation über die kalmükische Grammatik erworben, und es bestand die Aussicht, dass er in St. Petersburg Nachfolger von Isaak Jakob Schmidt, dem Begründer der Mongolistik, an der Akademie der Wissenschaften werden könnte. Doch 1847 starb Schmidt, bevor entsprechende Vorbereitungen getroffen werden konnten. So bestritt Jülg in der Folge seinen Lebensunterhalt als Altphilologe, aber trotzdem blieb er der Mongolistik treu: Er sammelte, kopierte und edierte die entsprechenden mongolischen Texte, übersetzte sie, entwarf (ost)mongolische und kalmükische Typographien, gewann Druckereien und Verlage und setzte die Texte teils selbst - ein begeisterter Wissenschaftler! Die hier vorgelegten Briefe aus seinem Nachlass dokumentieren seine Kontakte zu Kollegen: Wilhelm Schott (Sinologe), Theodor Benfey (Indologe, Reinhold Köhler (Folklorist), Angelo de Gubernatis (Literaturwissenschaftler), Alexander von Humboldt (Naturforscher), Alois Auer (Drucker), Hermann Brockhaus (Indologe), A. N. Veselovskij (Literaturwissenschaftler) und Reinhold Rost (Orientalist).

In der Einleitung blickt der Autor auf sein Leben und seine Arbeiten zurück. Das Schriftenverzeichnis ist nach Themen angeordnet: 16 Kapitel führen von Bibliographie und Bibliotheken über Ostasien zu China, Japan nach Zentralasien und Rußland - insgesamt etwa 1300 Eintragungen. Das letzte Kapitel verzeichnet Beiträge, die sich im Druck befinden oder in Arbeit sind. Zahlreiche Aufnahmen sind erläutert oder kommentiert und einige auch illustriert. Register erschliessen den Inhalt. Gegenüber dem früheren, rein chronologisch angeordneten Verzeichnis sind in den letzten Jahren 300 Eintragungen hinzugekommen; die sachliche Ordnung macht ebenso wie Anmerkungen die Information besser auffindbar. Der Autor war als Bibliothekar tätig, zuletzt als Ltd. Bibliotheksdirektor an der Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, Privatdozent an der Freien Universität, Lehrbeauftragter an der Humboldtuniversität, Direktor der Internationalen ISBN Agentur und der Internationalen ISMN Agentur. Beruflich hat er sich für den Ausbau der Zeitschriftendatenbank und die Erfassung der verstreuten umfangreichen Zeitungsbestände eingesetzt. Jahrelang war bei der IFLA Vorsitzender des Runden Tisches für Zeitungen und für zahlreiche internationale Zeitungskonferenzen verantwortlich, deren Ergebnisse er in zehn Sammelbänden veröffentlicht hat. Im Bereich der Standardnumerierung hat er durch die Verbreitung der ISO-Standards für Bücher und für Noten wesentlich zur Rationalisierung des Buch- und Musikhandels beigetragen. Weitere Schwerpunkte sind Ostasien und ostasiatische Büchersammlungen, die Orientalisten und ihre Biographien, Korrespondenzen und Veröffentlichungen. Als rares Spezialgebiet kommt die Mandschuliteratur hinzu - Mandschu und Chinesisch waren die Amtssprachen des Reiches, in dem zwei der bedeutendsten Kaiser regierten, die es je hatte: Kangxi und Qianlong, die in Europa Bewunderung erregten und als Vorbild galten. Nicht nur nahmen die Mandschus das chinesische Reich gewissermaßen im Handstreich ein und regierten es 250 Jahre lang, sie schufen auch eine Schrift und eine eigene Literatur - geradezu fabelhaft! Ein spannendes Forschungsgebiet. Viele verzeichnete Publikationen befassen sich mit Wissenschaftsgeschichte, sind Biobibliographien und wissenschaftliche Briefeditionen. Die neuesten Bücher behandeln Johann Redowskys Expedition nach Kamtschatka (1806-1807), die Arbeiten des Berliner Pfarrers und Japansammlers Julius Kurth sowie Nachschlagewerke zur Erotica-Bibliographie.
