ASIATISCHE FORSCHUNGEN 1371 THE MONGOLIAN M...

This publication is devoted to the study of a collection of Mongolian manuscripts written on
birch bark  which was found in 1970 inside a stupa in the ruined city of Xarbuxyn Balgas in
Northern Mongolia. The manuscripts date back to the 1st part of the 17th century. The book
contains the first part of the manuscripts edited in facsimile and in Latin transcription
together with detailed commentaries on the palaeographic  orthographic and lexical
peculiarities of the texts. Every effort was made to identify the texts  in most cases
successfully. The collection of Xarbuxyn Balgas consists of Buddhist and popular religious
ritual texts which cover a vast range of subjects  such as invocations to deities  wedding
calendars and prayers recited to guide the dead between death and rebirth. The collection
provides the hitherto earliest available evidence of a number of texts  including texts which
were previously unknown.
