Zustand: guter bis sehr guter Zustand. guter bis sehr guter Zustand, geringe Gebrauchs- und Alterungsspuren: Papier teils etwas vergilbt, aber Seiten sauber und ordentlich - Schutzumschlag sehr defekt mit Fehlstellen Reprint der Originalausgabe von 1800 - Limited Edition of 1000 Copies (Nr. 482) - "The purpose of Bibliotheca Himalayica is to make available works on the civilizations and nature of central asia and the Himalayas." - with an introduction by Hugh Richardson "In 1783 Captain Samuel Turner of the East India Company's army was commissioned by Warren Hastings, to whom he was related, as envoy to Tashilhunpo in Tibet on the occasion of the discovery of an infant successor to the Third Panchen Lama who had died in 1780. On his return after a year's absence he continued his military career in India until the end of the century when he retired to England and, in 1800, published his "Account of an Embassy to the Court of the Teshoo Lama in Tibet-" Hitherto the popular idea of that country had been mainly based on hearsay scraps of fact and fable. Now Turner provided the first eyewitness account generally available to English readers. It was received with interest and was soon translated into French. Not that Turner was the first European to enter Tibet. His visit followed up the successful mission of George Bogle whom Hastings had sent to Tashilhunpo in 1774. Bogle, like his friend the Third Panchen Lama, died prematurely in 1780 but his lively diary was not published until 1876. Before him there had been, from the beginning of the seventeenth century onwards, a little stream of visitors, mainly Jesuit and Capuchim missionaries, but their information did not become widely known until quite recently. Turner's work therefore remained for over half a century the locus classicus on Tibet. The age in which he lived demanded a "philosophic" approach and the examination of phenomena, however strange and curious, with a sober scientific eye. The age also imposed on him an elegant, rather elevated prose style. From behind that formal facade, little of Turner's personality emerges. One can see that he had those essentials for dealings with Tibetans, patience and tact, and that he was able to get on with people of different ways; but compared with the warmth and gaiety of Bogle, his manner seems, perhaps, a little condescending. What is abundantly clear is that he had a mind trained to enquire and observe accurately and to record his findings with balanced judgement. In his principal task of reporting on political and commercial matters, he describes competently what he saw of conditions in Bhutan, the relationship between Tashilhunpo and Lhasa, and the all-important relationship between Tibet and China; and he gives a careful list of the articles imported and exported by Tibetans ."

Each issue approx. 10" x 7½", illustrated throughout with maps, plates (some folding, several in color), and illustrations in the text; original printed wrappers; occasional flaws but on the whole, very good. 45 issues in all (volumes I-VII in 4 numbers each); volume VIII in 2; volume IX in 3; and, volume X-XV in 2). Kailash is a scholarly journal focusing on the history and anthropology of the Himalayan region. "Printed on traditional rice paper in Kathmandu, Nepal, it is difficult to acquire and only a handful of university libraries have assembled a complete set" (Wikipedia). In fact, only the wrappers are printed on rice paper. With contributions on multiple subjects from many scholars, explorers, casual travelers, and local residents, including Alexander W. Macdonald, Marilyn Silverstone, Uttar Bahadur, Johan Reinhard, Theodore Riccardi, Jr., Peter Burleigh, Barbara N. Aziz, Shirley Kurtz Jones, Lynn Bennett, Dudjom Rimpoche, Niels Gutschow, David Snellgrove, Michael Vinding, Suzane van der Heide, and a host of others. Kailash was published regularly between 1973 and 1990 with one-year gaps in 1980 and 1986 and with several joint issues in print. In effect, it did not maintain its quarterly frequency and was published only two times a year after 1983. No issues of the journal were published between 1991 and 1994. It was again published during 1995 and 1996. The journal died after a single issue was published in 2000. (see: https[://]kathmandupost[.]com/columns/2023/08/17/a-belated-obituary-of-kailash0. …
