TitleCollection of Tibetan and Nawari manuscriptsPublisherTibet s.n.DescriptionThe group of small manuscripts are likely to have been written by students. The larger manuscript, bound in elephant skin, is a transcription of "The beautiful messenger: the four-fold means of perfection." This tells how to pacify Tibet's "Earth Lords" or spirits of place, ending with a series of Tantric "realizations", seeking blessings from the "fifty blood-draining wrathful protector deities." These manuscripts are written on daphne paper, which the Tibetans treat with aconite, a poison meant to deter insects.
