‎The Buddhism of Tibet or Lamaism‎

‎Contents: 1. Historical. 2. Doctrinal. 3. Monastic. 4. Buildings. 5. Mythology and Gods. 6. Ritual and sorcery. 7. Festivals and plays. 8. Popular Lamaism. Appendices. Index. "The special characteristics of the book are its detailed accounts of the external facts and curious symbolisms of Buddhism, and its analyses of the internal movements leading to Lamaism and its sects and cults. It provides material culled from hoary Tibetan tradition and explained by Lamas for elucidating many obscure parts in primitive Indian Buddhism and its later symbolism. Thus a clue is supplied to several dispute doctrinal points of fundamental importance, as for example the formula of the casual nexus. "With this view the nabulous Tibetan "history" so called of the earlier periods has been somewhat critically examined in the light afforded by some scholarly Lamas and contemporary history and all fictitious chronicles, hitherto treated usually as historical and rejected as authoritative for events which happened a thousand years before they were written and for a time when writing was admittedly unknown in Tibet." 598 pp‎

‎The Book of Songs, Translated from the Chinese‎

‎8vo, cloth in dj, third impression of the 1937 ed. ; octavo; 358 pp (including index); a collection of ancient Chinese songs dating from 800 to 600 B.C. One of the five Confucian classics, The Book of Songs (Shijing) is the oldest collection of poetry in world literature and the finest treasure of traditional songs left from antiquity. Where the other Confucian classics treat outward things: deeds, moral precepts, the way the world works,” as Stephen Owen tells us in his foreword, The Book of Songs is the classic of the human heart and the human mind.”‎

‎Proof copy of Francis Johns, interleaved with blanks; numerous additions, annotations and corrections by Francis A. Johns in the text, and on small pieces of paper, which are attached to the blank leaves. Most of the annotations are written in pencil, the attached leaves are typescripts. - Leinwandband der Zeit; Korrekturexemplar von Francis Johns, durchschossen mit weißen Blättern, mit den Korrekturen und Fortführungen der Bibliographie als handschriftlichen Annotationen in Bleistift und auf beigehefteten maschinenschriftlichen Zetteln. Wir konnten nicht feststellen, ob die Korrekturen in die Neuausgabe der Bibliographie (London, 1988) eingegangen sind. "Arthur David Waley, eigentlich Arthur David Schloss, (geboren 19. August 1889 in Tunbridge Wells, England; gestorben 27. Juni 1966 in Highgate, London) war ein britischer Sinologe. (...) Bei einem einjährigen Aufenthalt in Frankreich und Deutschland lernte er die Sprachen und Literaturen dieser Länder kennen. Schließlich erhielt er eine Stelle am British Museum, wo er im Print Room (Kupferstichkabinett) angestellt wurde. Zuerst in der ihn langweilenden europäischen Unterabteilung unter Campbell Dodgson beschäftigt, wurde er im Juni 1913 Laurence Binyons Assistent in der Unterabteilung für Oriental Prints and Drawings (orientalische Kunst). Seine erste Aufgabe war die Katalogisierung der Sammlung von Sir Aurel Stein. Er lernte autodidaktisch Chinesisch und Japanisch und vertiefte seine Kenntnisse des Sanskrit. Es ist nicht klar, wie Waley es schaffte, zwei so schwierige Sprachen zu lernen, aber, wie John De Gruchy feststellt, hatte Waley bereits Kenntnisse von elf Sprachen, darunter Portugiesisch und Holländisch. Er las die Arbeiten von Karl Florenz über japanische Grammatik und Philologie. Waley schuf ein umfangreiches übersetzerisches Werk. Er übersetzte unter anderem aus dem Chinesischen die Anthologie der klassischen chinesischen Lyrik, Li Bai, das Daodejing, die Analekten des Konfuzius und den populären Roman Xiyouji (Die Reise nach dem Westen), der von dem Mönch Xuanzang und dem Affenkönig Sun Wukong handelt. Aus dem Japanischen übertrug er den bedeutendsten klassischen japanischen Roman, Murasaki Shikibus 'Geschichte des Prinzen Genji', Dame 'Sei Shonagons Kopfkissenbuch' (Auswahl). Seine englischen Übersetzungen dienten als Vorlagen für weitere Übertragungen in andere europäische Sprachen, darunter ins Deutsche. Sein Werk 'The No-Plays of Japan' wurde in der Übersetzung von Elisabeth Hauptmann von Kurt Weill und Bertolt Brecht begeistert aufgenommen. Aus der Übersetzung von 'Taniko oder Der Wurf ins Tal' wurde das Lehrstück 'Der Jasager'. Heute werden Waleys Übersetzungen selbst als ein bedeutender Teil der englischen Literatur angesehen und im Fall des Genji Monogatari soll es (laut Ivan I. Morris) sogar Stimmen geben, die seine Übersetzung für gelungener halten als das Original." (Wikipedia). RFM - Weitere Bilder auf Anfrage oder auf unserer Homepage.‎
