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 École Pratique des Hautes Études and the Centre de recherche sur les civilisations de l'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-Ważny [e-mail] 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_220.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_220.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_220_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_220_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_220_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_220_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.

本项目编号为UMO-2018/30/HS3/00372，由波兰国家科学中心（The National Science Centre, Poland）在HARMONIA 10计划框架下资助，由波兰华沙大学新闻、信息与图书馆学院书籍与媒体历史系主持，合作伙伴包括法国巴黎高等实践研究院（École Pratique des Hautes Études）与巴黎东方亚洲文明研究中心（Centre de recherche sur les civilisations de l'Asie orientale，简称CRCAO）。
项目标题：《以藏文写本守护王国：尼泊尔马斯塔吉地区皇家Drangsong写本合集的手稿学与历史分析》（Protecting the Kingdom with Tibetan Manuscripts: codicological and historical analysis of the royal Drangsong collection from Mustang, Nepal）

项目联合首席研究员（Project co PI）：Charles Ramble

本项目旨在对隶属于西藏本教（Bön religion）的独特Drangsong写本合集开展手稿学（codicological）与文本历史研究。该合集以其保存地的本教祭司传承谱系命名，共计包含340件不同藏品，总计3477页对开页、卡片或单张纸张，代表了曾为西藏王国、今为尼泊尔行政区的马斯塔吉国王室祭司的仪轨总集。这些写本展现了多样的形制、书写体、装饰、材质及其他手稿学特征。该合集自20世纪50至60年代祭司传承断绝后便再未被使用。
该合集的价值兼具双重维度：其一，该合集历经六个世纪从西藏各地与喜马拉雅地区搜集而来，其丰富的实物资料可通过物质与手稿学分析得以解读，将助力我们理解该地区的书籍与造纸传统，以及藏文写本制作的社会面向；其二，就内容而言，该合集为理解西藏王国的王室宗教特质提供了重要视角。这些写本曾被用于护持马斯塔吉王国、其臣民与王室血脉的仪式中；对制作材质与仪式实践的认知，将有助于理解西藏社会中宗教、赞助与政治权威之间的互动关系。
