There is therefore no colophon.File naming convention within Drangsong_001.zip archive: Drangsong_001_001r.jpgDrangsong_001 → collection name and number 001 → page numberr / v → recto / versoDRANGSONG PROJECTThe data included here were produced by the members and collaborators of the Drangsong project conducted in the years 2019-2024. Translations of titles and colophons were done by Charles Ramble and Naljor Tsering, transcriptions of selected texts by Nyima Drandul. The features such as bookbinding style, format and layout of manuscripts, as well as the type of paper illustrated with close-up and microscopic images, were taken by Agnieszka Helman-Ważny. The illustrations were described by Nils Martin, and the photographic documentation taken in situ was done by Thomas Schrom and Rinchen Loden Lama. Detailed studies and laboratory analyses of paper samples were carried out by Agnieszka Helman-Wazny in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Archaeometric Research at the University of Warsaw (Barbara Wagner, Agata Szubartowska, Alicja Święcicka, and Bartłomiej Witkowski) and Warsaw University of Technology (Grażyna Zofia Żukowska), using integrated methods such as microscopic fibre analysis, Reflectance Transformation Imaging/Polynomial Texture Maps (RTI / PTM), and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). The C14 analyses were performed at the Poznań Radiocarbon Lab (Tomasz Goslar).PROJECT DETAILSThe Project No. UMO-2018/30/M/HS3/00372 funded by The National Science Centre, Poland, in the framework of the HARMONIA 10 program, hosted by the Faculty of Journalism, Information and Bibliology, Department of Books, and Media History, University of Warsaw, Poland in a partnership with the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes and the Centre de Recherche sur les Civilisations d’Asie Orientale (CRCAO), Paris.Title: Protecting the Kingdom with Tibetan Manuscripts: codicological and historical analysis of the royal Drangsong collection from Mustang, Nepal.Project PI: Agnieszka Helman-WażnyProject co PI: Charles RambleThe aim of this project was to carry out a codicological and text-historical study of a unique collection of manuscripts, named Drangsong, belonging to the Bön religion of Tibet. It is named after the lineage of Bönpo priests in whose house it is kept. The collection, consisting of 340 different items with a total of 3,477 folios, cards, or individual sheets of paper, represents the ritual repertoire of the priests of the kings of Mustang, once a Tibetan kingdom and now a district of Nepal. The manuscripts exemplify the variety of forms, scripts, decorations, materials and other codicological features. The texts have not been used since the priestly line ended in the 1950s or 60s. The value of this collection is twofold: first, the collection was assembled from different parts of Tibet and the Himalaya over six centuries, and offers a rich body of material which can be retrieved by material and codicological analyses that will contribute to our understanding of book and paper making traditions in the region, as well as social aspects of Tibetan manuscript production; and secondly, in terms of its content, it offers a window onto the nature of royal religion in a Tibetan kingdom. These manuscripts were used in rituals for the protection and prosperity of the kingdom of Mustang, its subjects and members of royal lineage; knowledge of the materials and ritual practices involved in the creation of physical objects will help to understand the interaction between religion, patronage and political authority in Tibetan society.DATASET FILESThe dataset contains files:• Drangsong_001.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_001.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_001_002r.png (manuscript page sample)• Drangsong_001_backlites.zip (back lit samples),• Drangsong_001_fibres.zip (microscopic images),• Drangsong_001_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_001_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry),• Mustang_map.png (map of Mustang, Nepal).DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.

### 项目详情
本项目编号为UMO-2018/30/M/HS3/00372，由波兰国家科学中心在HARMONIA 10计划框架下资助，由波兰华沙大学新闻、信息与图书学院图书与媒体史系承办，与巴黎高等实践学院（Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes）及东方亚洲文明研究中心（Centre de Recherche sur les Civilisations d’Asie Orientale, CRCAO）合作开展。
项目标题：《以藏文手稿守护王国：尼泊尔马斯唐皇家Drangsong收藏的写本学与历史分析》
项目首席研究员：Agnieszka Helman-Ważny
项目联合首席研究员：Charles Ramble

本项目旨在对隶属于本教（Bön religion）的独特Drangsong手稿收藏开展写本学（codicological）与文本历史研究。该收藏以其保存地的本教僧侣传承谱系命名，共包含340件不同藏品，总计3477叶、卡片或单张纸张，代表了曾为西藏王国、现为尼泊尔行政区的马斯唐王国皇室僧侣的仪轨总集。这些手稿涵盖了多样的形制、书写体、装饰、材质及其他写本学特征。该套藏品自1950至1960年代僧侣传承谱系断绝后便未再使用。
本收藏的价值兼具二重性：其一，该收藏历经六个世纪从西藏各地及喜马拉雅地区汇集而成，其丰富的实物资料可通过物质与写本学分析加以研究，有助于我们理解该地区的书籍与造纸传统，以及藏文手稿制作的社会层面内涵；其二，就内容而言，该收藏为了解西藏王国的皇家宗教本质提供了窗口。这些手稿曾用于为马斯唐王国、其臣民及皇室成员祈福护持的仪轨；了解制作实物所涉及的材质与仪轨实践，将有助于理解藏传社会中宗教、资助与政治权威之间的互动关系。
