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_111.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_111.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_111_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_111_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_111_fibres.zip (microscopic images),• Drangsong_111_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_111_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：《以西藏手稿守护王国：尼泊尔木斯塘王室Drangsong藏品集的抄本学与史学分析》
项目负责人（PI）：Agnieszka Helman-Ważny，邮箱：[e-mail]
联合项目负责人（co-PI）：Charles Ramble
本项目旨在对独特的西藏苯教（Bön）抄本藏品集Drangsong开展抄本学与文本史学研究。该藏品集以其收藏所在的苯教祭司传承命名，共包含340件不同藏品，总计3477个对开页、卡片或单张纸张，完整展现了原西藏王国、今尼泊尔木斯塘地区王室祭司的仪轨总集。这批手稿涵盖了多样的形制、书写体、装饰、材质及其他抄本学特征。该藏品集的祭司传承在20世纪50至60年代中断后，文本便不再被使用。
该藏品集的价值兼具双重维度：其一，该藏品集在六个多世纪的时间里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抄本学分析得以解读，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层面内涵；其二，从内容层面而言，该藏品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木斯塘王国、其臣民与王室成员祈福护佑的仪轨中，了解制作实体器物所涉及的材质与仪轨实践，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。
