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] Project 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_039.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_039.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_039_amulet.pdf (manuscript as an amulet protect from negative forces),• Drangsong_039_001r.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_039_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_039_fibres.zip (microscopic images),• Drangsong_039_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_039_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.

项目标题：《以藏文手稿守护王国：尼泊尔马斯唐地区皇家当松（Drangsong）收藏集的写本学（codicology）与历史分析》
项目首席研究员（PI）：Agnieszka Helman-Ważny，邮箱：[e-mail]
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）的独特当松手稿收藏集开展写本学与文本史研究。该收藏集以其保管的本教僧侣传承谱系命名，共包含340件不同藏品，总计3477个单叶、卡片或独立纸张，展现了曾为西藏王国、今为尼泊尔行政区的马斯唐地区王室僧侣的仪式文献体系。这批手稿涵盖了多样的书写形式、字体、装饰、材质及其他写本学特征。该套文献自1950至1960年代僧侣传承谱系终结后便不再被使用。
本收藏集的价值兼具双重维度：其一，该收藏集历经六个世纪从西藏各地与喜马拉雅地区汇聚而成，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，以及西藏手稿生产的社会面向；其二，就内容而言，该收藏集为了解西藏王国的王室宗教面貌提供了窗口。这批手稿曾被用于为马斯唐王国、其臣民与王室成员祈福护佑的仪式之中。对制作实物所用的材质与仪式实践的认知，将有助于我们理解西藏社会中宗教、赞助与政治权威之间的互动关系。
