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_006.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_006.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_006_010r_Drawing.pdf (Substitute for a wooden tablet with a description of the object),• Drangsong_006_010r.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_006_backlites.zip (back lit samples),• Drangsong_006_fibres.zip (microscopic images),• Drangsong_006_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_003_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.Drangsong 006：[藏文罗马转写：Zhing la ’bu tshag pa sogs srin ’bu’i rig[rigs] dang/ bya dang byi ba la sogs pa’i bzhi ba’i bsangs[bsang] gi rim pa dgos ’dod ’byung ba bzhugs so]，其内容为涵盖农田除害、息灾疗疾与止息战祸的熏修仪轨。本数据集包含手写文本手稿页面的摄影图像，属于尼泊尔木斯塘地区皇家Drangsong藏品的一部分。编号为Drangsong 006的手稿内容为驱除农田害虫、疾病并止息战祸的熏修仪轨文本，共包含20个对开页，外加封面与目录。 Drangsong_006.zip压缩包内的文件命名规则如下：Drangsong_006_001r.jpg，其中：Drangsong_006代表藏品名称与编号；001代表页码；r/v代表正面（recto）/反面（verso）。 # Drangsong 项目 本数据集所收录的资料由2019至2024年间开展的Drangsong项目团队及其合作者共同完成。标题与题跋的翻译工作由Charles Ramble与Naljor Tsering完成，精选文本的转录工作由Nyima Drandul承担。手稿的装帧风格、形制与版式，以及通过特写与显微图像展示的纸张类型等特征的采集工作由Agnieszka Helman-Ważny完成。插图说明由Nils Martin撰写，原位摄影记录工作由Thomas Schrom与Rinchen Loden Lama完成。 纸张样本的详细研究与实验室分析由Agnieszka Helman-Wazny联合华沙大学考古学研究跨学科实验室（Barbara Wagner、Agata Szubartowska、Alicja Święcicka与Bartłomiej Witkowski）以及华沙理工大学（Grażyna Zofia Żukowska）共同开展，所采用的整合研究方法包括显微纤维分析、反射变换成像/多项式纹理映射（Reflectance Transformation Imaging/Polynomial Texture Maps，简称RTI/PTM）与X射线荧光光谱法（X-ray fluorescence spectrometry，简称XRF）。碳14（C14）分析工作由波兹南放射性碳实验室（Tomasz Goslar）完成。 ## 项目详情 本项目编号为UMO-2018/30/M/HS3/00372，由波兰国家科学委员会资助，隶属于HARMONIA 10研究计划，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，并与巴黎高等研究实践学院（École Pratique des Hautes Études）以及东方亚洲文明研究中心（Centre de Recherche sur les Civilisations d’Asie Orientale，简称CRCAO）合作开展。 项目标题：《以藏文手稿守护王国：尼泊尔木斯塘皇家Drangsong藏品的写本学与历史研究》 项目负责人：Agnieszka Helman-Ważny 项目联合负责人：Charles Ramble 本项目旨在对隶属于西藏本教（Bön religion）、名为Drangsong的独特手稿藏品开展写本学与文本史学研究。该藏品以其保存所在的本教僧侣传承世系命名，共包含340件不同藏品，总计3477页对开纸、卡片或单页纸张，是曾为西藏王国、现为尼泊尔辖区的木斯塘王室僧侣的仪轨典籍总集。这些手稿展现了多样的形制、书写字体、装饰风格、材质及其他写本学特征。自该僧侣传承世系于20世纪50至60年代断绝以来，这些文本便未再被使用过。 该藏品具有双重价值：其一，该藏品于六个世纪间从西藏与喜马拉雅地区各处搜集而来，其丰富的馆藏资料可通过材质与写本学分析进行研究，有助于我们理解该地区的书籍与造纸传统，以及藏文手稿生产的社会层面内涵；其二，从内容层面而言，该藏品为我们了解西藏王国的王室宗教本质提供了窗口。这些手稿曾被用于护持木斯塘王国、其臣民与王室血脉繁荣兴盛的仪轨；了解制作这些实物所涉及的材质与仪轨实践，将有助于我们理解藏传社会中宗教、赞助与政治权威之间的互动关系。 ## 数据集文件 本数据集包含以下文件： • Drangsong_006.zip：包含手稿页面带色卡的高清扫描件； • Drangsong_006.pdf：包含手稿页面展示图像； • Drangsong_006_010r_Drawing.pdf：替代木质牌位的对象描述文档； • Drangsong_006_010r.png：手稿页面示例； • Drangsong_006_backlites.zip：背光扫描样本； • Drangsong_006_fibres.zip：显微图像样本； • Drangsong_006_macros.zip：微距拍摄样本； • Drangsong_003_XRF_analysis.png：X射线荧光光谱分析结果图。 ## 手稿说明 手稿的书写、材质、形制与版式等详细信息，请参见本数据集附带的Readme.txt文件。
