Kalinpong 1925 Gegen (Gergan) Dorje Tharchin Hardcover 1st Edition
Not in any library worldwide:. IFolio (34,4 x 19,5 cm): 60 installments (4 double) in blue and black stencil (install. 11, vol. III printed in gold) totalising 122 ff. hand-numbered in blue pencil, illustr. (2 textlvs on red paper bound with; overall good condition).. Contemp. half black sheep, title in gold on flat spine (joints cracked, corners blunt).. Only run known being complete of the first 5 years missing at all sets registered worldwide, including 1925-1926, the very first volume.rnIn 1925, "Yul phyogs so so?i gsar ?gyur me lon" (often abbreviated as "me lon" and "melon") or the "The Tibetan Newspaper", also known as "The Mirror of News" or "The Tibet Mirror", was founded at Kalimpong in West Bengal, India. Published after "The Ladakh Journal", it is the second Tibetan language newspaper to have been started, per available records. Its founder was one Gergan Dorje Tharchin, a Tibetan of Christian denomination who was a pastor at Kalimpong, at the time a border town that acted as a centre for the wool trade between Tibet and India. He was born in 1890 in Himachal Pradesh and was educated by Moravian missionaries although he did not use his newspaper as a platform for proselytising Christianity to his readers.rnPublished on a monthly basis, the journal's first record was given in October 1925 under the title "The Mirror of News of All Sides of the World", followed by a second one in February 1926. Only 50 copies were printed and all sent to Tharchin's friends in Lhasa, including one for the 13th Dalai Lama who sent a letter encouraging him to continue with the publication and became an ardent reader.rnIts founder Tharchin was at the same time journalist, chief editor and publisher. He would select the news from newspapers of which he was a subscriber, and translate them into Tibetan. He had assigned to himself opening up Tibet to the outside world. The journal reported on what went on in the world at the Chinese Revolution, at World War II, during the Indian independence movement, and covered events in Tibet, India, and in Kalimpong itself. The more it informed about western material civilisation such as gramophone, photographic camera, clocks, flashlite, horse saddle, fountain pen, printer's press, an automobile etc, all illustrated. One finds also in the text the photographic portraits of the 13th and of the 14th Dalai Lama, a small view on the Potala Palace in Lhasa, the crash of a zeppelin aircraft etc.rnStarted as a Tibetan language chronicle of world events, by the 1950's became a vehicle for the fight for Tibetan freedom from the Chinese invasion and occupation. By the early 1960's, with financial troubles that never seemed to end, Tharchin ceased the publication in 1963 and died in 1976.rnApparently, our set is the only one known to contain the complete first 5 volumes (1925/1926-1930), as neither the "Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Libray" at Yale University, nor "The Tharchin Collection" at Columbia University, being Tharchin's personal archives, have complete runs, both starting with the year 1930 (a part from only one record -vol. 2, n. 5- at Columbia).rnRef.

Early Netherlandish Painting - The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection
London 1989 Philip Wilson Publishers, Limited Hardcover Very Good
Hardcover, Jacket: Very Good, 30 X 25 cm, 288 pp., English, Illustrations, book condition: Very Good. Early Netherlandish Painting will be equally welcome to the art lover , the museum and the reference library, giving access to the last major collection early Netherlandish painting to remain in private posession. It includes over forty masterpieces by Robert Campin, Petrus Chritus, Jacques Daret, Jan van Eyck, Hans Memling and Rogier van der Weyden. The collection is also rich in works by the painters of the new generation of the early 16th century. An extensive introduction to the period precedes the catalogue of 43 paintings by masters including Jan van Eyck, Rogier van der Weyden, Robert Campin and Hans Memling. A very substantial introduction by Colin Eisler illuminates the background to early Netherlandish art and traces its development through the paintings. The extensively illustrated catalogue was prepared with the collaboration of graduate students at the Intsitute of Fine Arts, New York. Dr Emil Bosshardt, Conservator at the Villa Favorita, and Elizabeth Ardrery contribute to the paintings' technical examination. Infra-red reflectography has been used to examine each work and the results are published alongside the finished painting.
The History of Linguistic and Grammatical praxis - proceedings of the XIth International Colloquim of the Studienkreis "Geschichte der Sprachwissenschaft".
Leuven 2000 Peeters Publishers Soft cover 1st Edition
Soft cover, 24 x 16 cm, 604 pp., English, 1st Edition, book condition: Very Good. The contibutions in this volume constitute a selection of the papers presented at the 11th International Colloquium of the West-European (German-based) society for the history of linguistic ideas, the Studienkreis "Geschichte der Sprachwissenschaft". The central theme of the conference was the history of linguistic and grammatical praxis. While this topic served, for the first time, as the central theme of a conference in the history of linguistics, the various types of linguistic praxis - language teaching and language learning, description and codification of languages, diffusion of linguistic knowledge, language planning and language policies - constitute the first attestation of linguistic preoccupations worldwide. The twenty-seven contributions in this volume cover the history of grammatical and linguistic praxis from Antiquity to the present day. While most of the papers deal with Europe and the United States, some of them analyse linguistic activity in relation to languages in Africa, Asia or Australia.
