1937rif. 69051Leipzig: Verlag der Offizin Richard Hadl 1937. Rare offprint "separatum" from Artibus Asiae volume VII; 4to pp. 85 1; 16 mounted plates at the back a few illustrations in the text; first 2 leaves a bit toned else a very good sound copy in contemporary black wrappers printed paper label on upper cover. Rock 1884-1962 was "captivated by the ritual books he found in the possession of the Naxi religious specialists the 'dongba' while plant hunting in China's borderlands. Rock went on to devote the remaining years of his life to the translation of these books that contained such a treasure house of knowledge a corpus of literature that for Rock offered tantalising glimpses at the indigenous religion of pre-Buddhist Tibet. Rock a voracious autodidact appreciated an intellectual challenge: this was a script that by the time he first encountered it in the 1920s nobody had previously deciphered aside from some exploratory incomplete translations conducted via Chinese by French scholars and explorers. This vast corpus of ritual literature was essentially unexplored territory and this was where Rock liked to tread. Through his assiduous collecting and cataloguing and not without controversy he preserved thousands of these texts in collections now spread throughout the western world . While Rock's first published translations were no more than concise summaries of the stories he discovered within the Naxi manuscripts he later developed a more extensive anthropological style of translation. This meant recording in exacting detail the phonetic reading given by a dongba and then embarking upon a full written commentary. The first translation to use this method was published in 1937 as 'The birth and origin of Dto-mba Shilo the founder of Mo-so shamanism according to Mo-so manuscripts' a seminal work on Dobbaq-sheel'lo the mythical founding father of the dongba religion" see Poupard D.J.

1956pp. viii, 272 + Frontis. Illustrated with numerous photographs. 8vo. Original cloth backed binding. Original dust jacket, worn. Hardbound. First published in 1923 as 'A Little Book of Perennials.' **This copy used for the McFarland 1958 edition, second printing. Illustrations and pages marked. Front fly leaf states "cuts stored in cellar, in cage - 6/3/59. 6 Boxed plates stored in cellar in cage - 1/21/64. No cover. Cut Room Jun 4, 1959". This copy was used in the printing office of J. Horace McFarland (1859-1948). McFarland was one of the first Americans to sound the call for environmental and scenic protection. In 1878, at age nineteen, McFarland opened his printing business and began to publish gardening and seed catalogs. Realizing that woodcuts did not adequately represent the plants, he started to explore the use of photography. By 1894, he was experimenting with color photography and his company had become America's premier publisher of gardening catalogs, with what may have been the first color photographs produced in the US. The success of his publishing business provided McFarland with wealth and security, and freed him to engage extensively in the philanthropy and civic activism he loved. He was recognized as a master gardener whose books and photographs on roses, trees and other subjects were famous across the United States. He wrote more than a dozen books on roses and made the American Rose Society a world-renowned institution. As president, he established a method of rose identification and registration that is still in use today. He was widely known as "Mr. Rose" and was a founder and president of the American Rose Society, which had an international impact on the propagation of roses. His home and garden in the Bellevue Park section of Harrisburg was an internationally famous testing ground for hundreds of new plant species. It contained 5,000 plants including varieties of roses.
