Yampolskaya N. Fragments of Mongolian Kanjur Manuscripts Copied in 19th C. Germany and Preserved at the Library of the Academy of Sciences // Written Monuments Of The Orient. Volume 10, No. 2(21), 2024, p. 3–31.
The article introduces three previously unknown fragments of 17th c. Mongolian Kanjur manuscripts. While the original folios have been lost, their texts are preserved in handwritten copies produced in the 19th c. by an unidentified German scholar. These copies became known in 2021 after being admitted to the Manuscript Department of the Library of the Russian Academy of Sciences. This article focuses on the Mongolian text of the fragments, its identification, and a brief commentary on the trustworthiness of the handwritten copies.
On November 21‒23, 2024, the 2nd All-Russia conference of young orientalists “Army and military traditions of the Near East” will be held at the IOM RAS and the HSE (Saint Petersburg). The conference program is now available.
