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_168.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_168.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_168_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_168_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_168_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_168_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、信息与图书馆学院书籍与媒体史系承办，合作伙伴包括法国高等实践学院（École Pratique des Hautes Études）以及巴黎东方亚洲文明研究中心（Centre de recherche sur les civilisations de l'Asie orientale, CRCAO）。
项目标题：《以藏文写本守护王国：尼泊尔穆斯坦皇家Drangsong典藏的装帧学与历史分析》。
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）的珍稀Drangsong写本典藏进行装帧学与文本历史研究。该典藏以其保管所在的本教僧侣传承谱系命名，共计包含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、今为尼泊尔行政区的穆斯坦国王僧侣阶层的仪轨总集。这些写本展现了多样的形制、书写字体、装饰、材质及其他装帧学特征。该典藏自1950至1960年代僧侣传承谱系断绝后便不再被使用。
该典藏具有双重价值：其一，该典藏在六个世纪的时间里从西藏各地与喜马拉雅地区搜集而来，其所蕴含的丰富物质材料可通过物质与装帧学分析进行研究，这将有助于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，从内容层面而言，该典藏为了解西藏王国的皇家宗教特质提供了窗口。这些写本曾被用于为穆斯坦王国、其臣民与王室成员祈福护持的仪轨中。对制作实物所涉及的材料与仪轨实践的认知，将有助于理解藏传社会中宗教、护持（patronage）与政治权威之间的互动关系。
