Terjék József: Collection of Tibetan MSS and Xylographs of Alexander Csoma de Kőrös.

Catalogue

46 locava's "Nag-sgron" and pan-chen Gnam-lin-pa's Sum-Rtags commentary. Also to be noted is the Sum Rtags commentary by a later scholar, Situ íhos-kyi snan-ba." These linguistic works enumerated above can all be found in the collection (No. 33, No. 34, No. 35, No. 36). Csoma also acquired the most famour work on verse-theory (snan-nag), discussed in this Alexander-book at a greater length by his tutor. This was written by the 5th Dalai Lama (No. 37), together with the extract from the much recommended "Mu-tig phren-ba' ' (No. 10). Following Sans-rgyas phun chogs' syllabus (pp. 38-46) there is another manuscript on the remaining sheets of the booklet. The title of the notes reads: "Mr Klaproth's Fragments - Mars 1831, Paris". The compiler of the notes is not mentioned but on the basis of the handwriting it can almost certainly be assumed that they are in Csoma's hand. The title itself refers to Klaproth's "Table chronologique des plus célébres patriarchies et des événements remarquables de la religion bouddhique, rédigée en 1678 (traduite du mongol)". The essay appeared in the Journal Asiatique, 1831, pp. 161-176.
