Catalogue of Tibetan Manuscripts and Xylographs (Hardcover)

Due to the efforts of a number of collectors, foremost among them HRH Prince Peter of Greece and Denmark, in the earlier part of this century, the collection of Tibetan texts held by the Danish Royal Library is one of the largest of its kind in Europe. Apart from complete original versions of the Lhasa Kanjur and the Narthang Tanjur, it offers a valuable cross-section through virtually all genres of Tibetan literature. This collection is analysed and described here in more than 1800 catalogue entries.
