‎The exceedingly rare first edition of Monk Hyacinth's (i.e. Jakinf's/Iankinth's) important work on the history of Mongolia, which constitutes one of the earliest important travel accounts of the region since the middle ages. The work contains a description of Hyacinth's route up north of Mongolia (then under Manchu rule), a history of Mongolia and the Mongol regimes in China, descriptions of costumes, etc., and a section on regulations concerning the Mongols. As such, this important early work came to play a significant role in all later travel literature about Mongolia and was seen as a work of refenrence and great authority, which was frequently quoted by other writers on the field. ""Little was reported to the West about Mongolia between the thirteenth and nineteenth centuries. During this period the Mongol empire rapidly disintegrated... When Christian missionaries began arriving in (Outer) Mongolia, beginning in 1798, they found an impoverished people ruled by a ""living Buddha"", the Bogd Khan... The Catholic missionaries was followed by a wave of Protestant missionaries"" (Speake 2: 803), but most of the accounts of these missionaries are from the late nineteenth century and thus much later than Hyacinth's. ""The archimandrate Hyacinth, late chief of the Russian mission at Peking, from whnce he returned in 1821, with Mr. Timkowski, is about to publish, at St. Petersburg, an ""Account of Mongolia"", in four volumes. The first volume will contain a narrative of his journey through Mongolia, and his return from Peking to Kakhta" the second, a geographical and statistical account of Mongolia the third, a short history of the Mongols" and the fourth, the code of laws by which this nomade people is giverned. This work will contain a map of Mongolia, engravings of costumes, &c.The work was translated into German in 1832 under the title ""Denkwürdigkeiten über die Mongolei"". Both the Russian original and the German translation are of great scarcity. Lust: 186. Not in Greasse, not in Brunet. ‎

‎LIVING WITH THE SPIRITS : Shamanism in Mongolia - Le chamanisme en Mongolie / culture mat rielle chamanique mongole‎

‎, Stichting Kunstboek , 2022 Hardcover, 152 pages, Text in ENG/FR, 300 x 245 mm, NEW / NOUVEAU, illustrations in colour / b/w ISBN 9789058566904.‎

‎This book invites the reader to discover the rich, very varied and - in our view - even exuberant Mongolian shamanic material culture. Mongolia, together with Siberia, is one of the countries where the shaman costume is the most striking expression of shamanism. These costumes and the shamanic items are very important elements in shamanic thinking as these 'ghost robes' enable the shaman to make contact with guardian spirits and shamanic deities. The shaman's costume thus expresses the shaman's personal bond with the spiritual universe. Each shaman costume is unique: it reflects its owner's history, rituals, experience, successes and relationship with the spirits. This book contains an extensive and unique collection of shamanic costumes, some of which have been exhibited in renowned museums or are still part of their permanent collection. The reader will also find a nice selection of shamanic attributes such as drums, scepters, arrows, masks, amulets, idols (ungod or spirit holders). //// Le pr sent ouvrage invite le lecteur d couvrir la culture mat rielle chamanique mongole. Celle-ci est riche, tr s vari e et parfois exub rante nos yeux. La Mongolie est un des pays, avec la Sib rie, o le costume de chamane constitue l'expression mat rielle la plus frappante du chamanisme. Ces costumes, tout comme d'autres objets, sont des l ments tr s importants dans la pens e chamanique, car les robes d'esprits permettent au chamane d'entrer en contact avec les esprits tut laires et les divinit s chamaniques. Le costume du chamane exprime ainsi le lien personnel qu'il entretient avec l'univers spirituel. Chaque robe d'esprit est unique : elle refl te l'histoire de son propri taire, ses rituels, son exp rience, ses succ s et ses relations avec les esprits. Ce livre comprend une collection vaste et unique de costumes de chamane dont certains ont t expos s dans des mus es renomm s ou font toujours partie de leur collection permanente. Le lecteur y retrouvera galement une tr s belle s lection d'attributs chamaniques tels que tambours, sceptres, fl ches, masques, amulettes, idoles (ongod ou supports d'esprits).‎
