Softbound. Condizione: New. Reprint edition. Reprint of the first edition, London 1925. The text originated as a translation into German by the scholar von Schiefner, based on Tibetan texts that had been brought to St. Petersburg in the mid 1800s. The German was then rendered into English by the British folklorist W. R. S. Ralston. While a good number of the tales have their foundation in 'Former Lives of the Buddha,' (Jataka) myths, brought to Tibet from India in Pali texts, at least half of the tales do not seem to have origins outside of Tibet itself. lxv, 368 pp. Size: 21 x 15 cm.…

Softbound. Condizione: New. Reprint edition. Reprint of the first edition, London 1924, which was in turn translated from the French edition of Jacques Bacot. The book provides an English version of the text of three plays, commonly performed in or near monasteries during the fall festival period for a public audience. The first, Tchrimekundan, is based on the Vessantara Jataka, the mythological tale of the former life of the Buddha immediately prior to his last reincarnation as Sakyamuni himself. The second, Djroazanmo, (as it occurs in the text, rather than the subtitle) is a form of fairy tale, likely with origins in Indian folklore. The third play, Nansal, is more of a philosophical drama, in essence describing the quest of a talented young girl in search of peace and enlightenment.

Softbound. Condizione: New. Reprint edition. Two volumes reprinted in one: 'Annual Customs' was first published in Peiping, 1936; the second - 'Manchu Customs' - Tientsin & Peking 1928. Both describe traditional folk religion as practiced in an annual cycle of rituals and rites in northern China. Annual Customs and Festivities in Peking was a translation, with commentary, by American Sinologist Derk Bodde, of an earlier, ca. 1900, Chinese text that provided a day-by-day account from a Chinese perspective of the festivals, pilgrimages, fairs, customs, clothing and foods of each season, as practiced in the capital. Manchu Customs and Superstitions was written by Mrs. Bogan, a foreign resident of Peking and describes much of the same sequence of annual rites but from the perspective of a Western eye. Her book also provided descriptions of Manchu weddings, the customs accompanying the birth of a child, celebrations of birthdays and funerals. The two volumes together form interesting complementary accounts. Annual Customs: xxii, 147 pp., 7 b&w plates, 28 b&w figs in text. Manchu Customs: xiii, 140 pp., 28 b&w plates. Size: 22 x 15 cm. …
