"French missionary-traveller was born at Toulouse on the 1st of August 1813. In his twenty-fourth year he entered the congregation of the Lazarists at Paris and shortly after receiving holy orders in 1839 went out to China. At Macao he spent some eighteen months in the Lazarist seminary preparing himself for the regular work of a missionary. Having acquired some command of the Chinese tongue and modified his personal appearance and dress in accordance with Chinese taste he started from Canton. He at first superintended a Christian mission in the southern provinces and then passing to Peking where he perfected his knowledge of the language eventually settled in the Valley of Black Waters or He Shuy a little to the north of the capital and just within the borders of Mongolia. There beyond the Great Wall a large but scattered population of native Christians had found a refuge from the persecutions of Kia-King to be united half a century later in a vast but vague apostolic vicariate. The assiduity with which Huc devoted himself to the study of the dialects and customs of the Tatars for whom at the cost of much labour he translated various religious works was an admirable preparation for undertaking in 1844 at the instigation of the vicar apostolic of Mongolia an expedition whose object was to dissipate the obscurity which hung over the country and habits of the Tibetans. September of that year found the missionary at Dolon Nor occupied with the final arrangements for his journey and shortly afterwards accompanied by his fellow-Lazarist Joseph Gabet and a young Tibetan priest who had embraced Christianity he set out. To escape attention the little party assumed the dress of lamas or priests. Crossing the Hwang-ho they advanced into the terrible sandy tract known as the Ordos Desert. After suffering dreadfully from want of water and fuel they entered Kansu having recrossed the flooded Hwang-ho but it was not till January 1845 that they reached Tang-Kiul on the boundary. Rather than encounter alone the horrors of a four months' journey to Lhasa they resolved to wait for eight months till the arrival of a Tibetan embassy on its return from Peking. Under an intelligent teacher they meanwhile studied the Tibetan language and Buddhist literature and during three months of their stay they resided in the famous Kunbum Lamasery which was reported to accommodate 4000 persons. Towards the end of September they joined the returning embassy which comprised 2000 men and 3700 animals. Crossing the deserts of Koko Nor they passed the great lake of that name with its island of contemplative lamas and following a difficult and tortuous track across snow-covered mountains they at last entered Lhasa on the 29th of January 1846. Favourably received by the regent they opened a little chapel and were in a fair way to establish an important mission when the Chinese ambassador interfered and had the two missionaries conveyed back to Canton where they arrived in October of the same year. For nearly three years Huc remained at Canton but Gabet returning to Europe proceeded thence to Rio de Janeiro and died there shortly afterwards. Huc returned to Europe in shattered health in 1852 visiting India Egypt and Palestine on his way and after a prolonged residence in Paris died on the 31st of March 1860." / "His writings comprise besides numerous letters and memoirs in the Annales de la propagation de la foi the famous Souvenirs d'un voyage dans la Tartarie le Thibet et la Chine pendant les annees 1844-1846 2 vols.

These works are written written in a lucid racy picturesque style which secured for them an unusual degree of popularity. The Souvenirs is a narrative of a remarkable feat of travel and contains passages of so singular a character as in the absence of corroborative testimony to stir up a feeling of incredulity. That Huc was suspected unjustly was amply proved by later research. But he was by no means a practical geographer and the record of his travels loses greatly in value from the want of precise scientific data." Britannica. Gaume freres, 1857. hardcover

réf. 272773Wiesbaden: Reichert 2021. 266 S., 7 Abb. Ln. *neuwertig* Among the so-called learned and accomplished masters of Tibet?s ?long 15th century?, the First Karma ?phrin las pa stands out as influential commentator on Saraha?s Doh?, great poet, and key figure in the rise of Central Tibetan block printing workshops. This book aims to present a historical investigation of his life and works in the context of his time, clarifying his spiritual roles and titles. Sources are Tibetan hagiographies about Karma ?phrin las pa and all his available writings (including their colophons), along with genealogies, letters, instructions, religious chronicles, and life narratives of some of his contemporaries. Unter den sogenannten gelehrten und vollendeten Meistern Tibets des ?langen 15. Jahrhunderts? nimmt der Erste Karma ?phrin las pa eine herausragende Stellung ein. Er ist bekannt als ein großer Dichter, einflussreicher Kommentator von Saraha?s Doh? und zentrale Gestalt für die Entwicklung der Blockdruckkultur in Zentraltibet. Das Buch präsentiert eine historische Untersuchung des Lebens und der Schriften des Karma ?phrin las pa im Kontext seiner Zeit unter Klärung seiner spirituellen Rollen und Titel. Als Quellen werden tibetische Hagiographien zu seiner Person herangezogen, die Gesamtheit seiner verfügbaren Werke (inklusive der Kolophone), Genealogien, Briefe, Unterweisungen, religiöse Chroniken sowie die Lebensbeschreibungen einiger Zeitgenossen.
réf. 272774Wiesbaden: Reichert 2021. 584 S. Ln. *neuwertig* This book is devoted to the study of the so-called ?School of gTsang smyon,? i.e. the religious community that gathered around the Tibetan master gTsang smyon Heruka (1452?1507). Looking at a broad range of historical sources and reconstructing the religious and political context of the time, it sheds light on the school?s history, arguing that it represented an influential factor in the construction and codification of the self-representation of the bKa? brgyud school in the south-western borderlands. This contribution provides an overview of the whole literary production of the tradition: besides the well-known narrative works, special attention is given to texts devoted to the esoteric practices of the Aural Transmission of Ras chung pa (ras chung snyan brgyud). A detailed handlist includes the bibliographic description of over 80 printed editions realised by the school in the 16th century, thus providing the most comprehensive overview of this xylographic production to date, as well as a substantial corpus for the study of Tibetan book history. Das Buch ist eine Studie zu der sogenannten ?Schule des gTsang smyon?, d.h. der religiöse Gemeinschaft, die sich um den tibetischen Meister gTsang smyon Heruka (1452?1507) gebildet hatte. Unter Berücksichtigung einer umfassenden Anzahl historischer Quellen wird auf den religiöse und politische Kontext der Zeit eingegangen und bis in die Generation der Schüler verfolgt. Die gesamtem literarische Produktion dieser Bewegung ist umfassend dargestellt und besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird der ?Hörtradition des Ras chung pa? (ras chung snyan brgyud) geschenkt. Ein ausführlicher Katalog beschreibt über 80 Ausgaben der Werke, die in Form von Blockdrucken im 16. Jahrhundert von der Schule erstellt wurden; es wird damit der bisher umfassendste Überblick zur Produktion von Xylographen geboten zusammen mit einem substantiellen Korpus für das Studium der Geschichte des Buches in Tibet.
