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_019.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_019.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_019_002r.png (manuscript page sample)• Drangsong_019_backlites.zip (back lit samples),• Drangsong_019_fibres.zip (microscopic images),• Drangsong_019_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_019_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.

项目名称：《以藏文手稿守护王国：尼泊尔木斯塘地区皇家Drangsong馆藏手稿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西藏本教（Bön religion）的独特Drangsong手稿馆藏开展写本学与文本历史研究。该馆藏以其保存地的本教活佛传承谱系命名，共计包含340件不同藏品，总页数、卡片或单页纸张达3477张，代表了曾为西藏王国、现为尼泊尔行政区的木斯塘地区王室祭司的仪轨总集。这些手稿展现了多样的书写形式、字体、装饰、材质及其他写本学特征。该馆藏自20世纪50至60年代祭司传承断绝后便未再被使用。
该馆藏的价值兼具双重性：其一，该馆藏于六个世纪间从西藏各地与喜马拉雅地区收集而来，其丰富的实物资料可通过物质与写本学分析得以解读，将有助于我们理解该地区的书籍与造纸传统，以及西藏手稿生产的社会面向；其二，从内容层面而言，该馆藏为了解西藏王国的王室宗教面貌提供了窗口。这些手稿曾被用于为木斯塘王国、其臣民与王室成员祈福护佑与繁荣兴盛的仪轨；了解实物制作涉及的材质与仪轨实践，将有助于理解西藏社会中宗教、庇护关系与政治权威之间的互动关系。
