Tibetan Painted Scrolls - part 1By Giuseppe Tucci
The work proposed here is the product of adventurous expeditions that the greatMarchigian explorer made in Tibet and throughout central Asia. Concerning Buddhist paintings on scrolls or thangka, the "Tibetan Painted Scrolls" (1949)
Giuseppe Tucci was not only the most complete scholar of Oriental disciplines Italy hasever had, but he was also legendary across Asia and internationally renowned as one ofthe finest Tibetanologists. The work proposed here is the product of adventurous expeditions that the great Marchigian explorer made in Tibet and throughout central Asia. Concerning Buddhist paintings on scrolls or thangka, the "Tibetan Painted Scrolls" (1949), with their 798 pages and 256 colour plates, still constitute an immensepatrimony for anthropologists and scholars of Oriental art and culture. Unobtainable forso many years, Mimesis International now puts back into circulation this indispensablework for the study of Tibetan culture. It is a precious testimony of the religiousiconography of Tibetan Buddhism, for the great part lost, dispersed or stolen. Volume Iof "Tibetan Painted Scrolls" is a vast survey of five hundred years of Tibetan cultural andreligious history. Here professor Tucci, a noted scholar of Sanskrit, delineates differentBuddhist lineages, their monuments and their traditions, giving a general survey ofVajrayana Buddhism. All these descriptions, since they have failed to survive theCultural Revolution, are now all the more significant to Tibetan studies. The second partof Volume I is an unprecedented study on Tibetan thangka painting. It is divided infifteen chapters, among which feature "Symbolical Meaning of Colors and Lines," "ToPaint is to Evoke," "Iconometry" and "Consecration of Thangkas".

It is a precious testimony of the religiousiconography of Tibetan Buddhism, for the great part lost, dispersed or stolen. Volume IIcontains detailed descriptions of the 195 thangkas. There is a tremendous wealth ofinformation on their iconography and on the history of Tibetan and Indian Buddhism; aswell as reference to Buddhist texts, and several translations of inscriptions on theillustrated thangkas. Tucci provides short, unprecedented monographs on the lives ofShakyamuni and the Tibetan hero saints Padmasambhava, Tsongkhapa and the ThirdDalai Lama. He also writes almost a hundred pages on the Jataka Tales, the stories ofSakyamuni's adventures through his many incarnations on the path towards SupremeEnlightenment. Bolstered by a large number of paintings and illustrations, Tucci’sanalysis moves skillfully across the disciplines of iconology, iconography, hagiography,history, sociology and linguistics.

The Tombs of Tibetan KingsBy Giuseppe Tucci
In this precious book, Giuseppe Tucci tells of the funereal culture of the ancientTibetan civilisation, born on the “roof of the world”.
In this precious book, Giuseppe Tucci tells of the funereal culture of the ancient Tibetancivilisation, born on the “roof of the world”. During his multiple expeditions in Tibet,Tucci had the opportunity to visit personally the tombs of their ancient kings and, in thisbook, he reports with a great wealth of detail their structural, aesthetic and symbolic characteristics; the treasures collected in their tomb, which are able to guarantee, evenafter the king’s death, the prosperity of the kingdom; the numerous rooms; and the kinghimself, placed in the centre of the tomb, so as to represent the world’s axis for eternity.

Tibetan Folk Songs from Gyantse and WesternTibet
By Giuseppe Tucci
Echoing through the streets of Gyantse and the valleys of the Western Tibet,these collected folk songs are perhaps Tucci’s most “romantic” work
In 1949, after his eighth exploration in Tibet, Giuseppe Tucci published a collection andtranslation of local folk songs, which is presented here. Echoing through the streets ofGyantse and the valleys of the Western Tibet, these collected folk songs are perhapsTucci’s most “romantic” work. They make transparent, besides the usual scientificrigour, Tucci’ great passion for his beloved Tibet.

Preliminary Report on Two Scientific Expeditionsin Nepal
By Giuseppe Tucci
A precious book, in which a great anthropologist and scholar of Oriental studiesglimpses, in the Nepal of the 1950s, all the contradictions and ambiguities of thismost elusive country.
Even Tucci, who has made five or six expeditions in Nepal, thought it was a difficultcountry. During these expeditions, made for scientific purposes, Tucci found raucous joyin the bazaars, but also latent anxieties and negative omens in every shape or symbol.Thus, in “Between Jungles and Pagodas”, he wrote that “Nepal is one of the most diverseand complex countries in Asia: rich in colour, but also in suffering.” Under the splendourof temples’ golden domes, chapels have no windows and mystery is kept locked behindclosed doors. A precious book, in which a great anthropologist and scholar of Orientalstudies glimpses, in the Nepal of the 1950s, all the contradictions and ambiguities of thismost elusive country.

The Nakhi Naga Cult and Related Ceremonies -part 1
By Joseph Francis Charles Rock
In this encyclopaedic dictionary, divided into two volumes, Joseph FrancisCharles Rock focuses on the diffuse religiosity in the autonomous region ofLijiang, one of the few stopping points in the Middle Kingdom.
Joseph Francis Charles Rock was a great Austrian explorer and botanist. He was one ofthe few that had the ability to immerse himself completely in the lands inhabited by themagnificent Nakhi, and the first to disseminate in the West documents relative to Nakhiculture. In this encyclopaedic dictionary, divided into two volumes, Joseph FrancisCharles Rock focuses on the diffuse religiosity in the autonomous region of Lijiang, oneof the few stopping points in the Middle Kingdom. The author spent much time in this area of Tibetan culture in the current South-West of China, where in ancient times ruledthe kingdom of Na-Khi. The present work, truly extraordinary and impossible to find, isthe result of translations from documents Rock found. They describe religiousceremonies belonging to the Bön tradition, a religion tied to shamanism and animism; itwas particularly diffuse in Tibet and in Nepal before the affirmation of Buddhism and,mixing with it, it gave rise to a series of customs and rituals still practiced today.

Chaturman RaiHimalayan folk-photographer and film-makerBy Martino Nicoletti
The story of Chaturman Rai, a peasant photographer hailing from the Himalayaswho, with rudimental instruments and few resources, has captured one of themost remote and seductive corners of Asia. A great testimony of talent andtenacity.
n a remote Himalayan village without electricity or running water, young Chaturman, ashepherd and peasant belonging to the Tibeto-Burmese ethnic group of the Kulunge, hascultivated for many years a passion for photography. Chaturman has been able toappreciate this distant art thanks to the encounter with many itinerant photographers:enigmatic characters that, not until recently, passed through the farthest villages of Nepalas nomad professional photographers. Self-taught and a total experimenter, Chaturmandevelops his work with rudimental materials, always pressed by everyday necessities. Inspite of this, his gaze fixes on one of the most remote and seductive corners of Asia. The resulting images take the surreal to its very limits and can hardly leave anyoneindifferent.
