Martin, Dan : Tibetan Histories

This bibliography, over ten years in the making and numbering over 700 items, attempts to provide for the first time a comprehensive listing in chronological sequence of Tibetan language works belonging to the typical historical genres that have evolved between the 11th century and the present. Included are not only the dates and details of composition or publication, authorship and title, but also references to the burgeoning secondary literature in other languages.

Although the work is primarily aimed at specialists in Tibetan studies, for whom it will quickly become indispensible, a conscious effort has been made to accomodate the needs of librarians, historians of neighbouring cultures and interested laypersons. An extensive index of proper names, titles and subjects in Roman rather than Tibetan order maximises the value of the bibliography as a tool for easy reference.

"A key event in the development of Tibetan studies." Michael Aris.
