Rather, they resorted to a variety of sophisticated and time-honored forms for...

Bon and Naxi Manuscripts
ISBN: 9783110776089 / Angielski / Twarda / 431 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The present volume offers a dozen studies of manuscripts of the Tibetan Bon and Naxi Dongba traditions across time and space.

From the perspective of “Japanology,” one can discern three distinct periods of...
