A General Study of the Basic Materials on the History, Religion, Language and Folkways of Tibet.

本研究是一个为期三年的项目，其目的是尽可能多地收集最近在印度、尼泊尔和不丹再版的藏文文献，并将这些文献整理成一种便于学者使用的格式。今年是研究的最后一年，我们整理了新获得的文件和已经属于东洋文库的文件（不包括木制副本）。在这个过程中，我们充分利用了我们的个人电脑，不仅使用了现有的软件，而且还专门为这项工作编写了一个新的程序。我们根据这些资料，对东洋文库中现存的藏文文献进行了总目整理。以下两点是我们制作这个目录的基础，而我们一直意识到这项研究的目的：寻求尽可能有效地利用西藏文献的方法。目录中的每一项都包含大量的信息；作者姓名，作者出生和死亡年份，藏文标题，英文标题，编辑姓名，出版年份和地点，文件大小，总页数。这一信息已记录在案，没有遗漏。为方便用户使用，目录按学科或类别（如历史、文学、语法、医学等）划分章节。在每章中，文档按作者姓名的字母顺序列出，如果作者姓名未知，则按文档名称列出。目录的布局也是为了便于使用而设计的。该工具允许用户通过查看目录的相关部分，轻松地搜索他/她想要的文档。此外，我们还从美国获得了西藏文献的微缩胶片记录，以弥补我们无法实际收集到的资料。因此，我们现在有了迄今为止发布的大部分藏文文件的副本。这些文件将提供给所有学者使用。少

This study is a three year program, the object of which is to collect as many as possible Tibetan documents which have recently been reproduced in India, Nepal, and Bhutan, and to collate these documents into a format that can be easily used by scholars. This is the final year of the study and we have sorted out the newly obtained documents and the documents which were already owned by the Toyo Bunko (excluding wooden copies). In this process we have fully utilized out personal computer and have not only used existing software, but have also created a new program especially for this work. We have made a general catalogue of the Tibetan documents existing in the Toyo Bunko based on this information. The following tow points were the basis for our making this catalogue, while we were at all times conscious of the purpose of this study : to seek ways in which to utilize Tibetan documents as effectively as possible.1. Each item in the catalogue contains a lot of information ; name of the a … More uthor, year of birth and death of the author, title in Tibetan, title in English, name of the editor, year and place of publication, size of the document, total number of pages. This information was recorded with no omission.2. Considering the convenience to users, the catalogue is divided into chapters according to sects or category (for example ; history, literature, grammar, medical, etc.). In each chapter, documents are listed alphabetically by the name of the author, or if the author's name is not known, by the name of the document. The layout of the catalogue has also been designed for ease of use. This facility allows a users to easily search for the document he/she wants by only looking through the relevant sect of category of the catalogue.In addition, we have obtained micro fiche records of Tibetan documents fORm the Unites States, to make up for what we could not actually collect. As a result, we now have copies of most of the Tibetan documents issued to date.These documents will be made available for use by all scholars. Less
