II. But the Bishop’s College collection contains also two 
Italian-Tibetan Dictionaries. 
A.—The first is a large volume in quarto, measuring 
103” x 84”, strongly bound, and written by several hands on 
English-made paper. It is well preserved, but is incomplete, 
as it ends with the letter S of the Roman alphabet. The first 
page gives the following title: Dizionario ITaLtano-TIBETANO, 
+ 
surmounted by the monogram IHS around which we read 
‘¢ Sia Laudato il Santissimo, amabilissimo, amorosissimo e 
e. 
of order from “‘ scultore’’ to ‘‘ sapere di certo,’’ after which the 
agi s on regularly from 778 till 854. Then follow 10 
blank unnumbered: pages and 96 others, written but not num- 
red, beginning with the letter R and the word ‘‘ Robbufru- 
fare,’’ till ‘Santo cioe santo del Paradiso.”

cabulary. It forms the latter part of the above mentioned 
lexicon and is complete from N to Z, the letters A to L having 
been completely destroyed or lost. This is obviously the older 
of the two, not only because it was originally complete, but 
also because it is throughout written in the same legible hand- 
writing on common Tibetan or Newari paper. It measures 
133” x7}”. The MS. is not numbered, but I counted 430 pages, 
each one containing 34 lines or more, and divided in two 
columns, the first giving the Italian word, the second next to 
it the corresponding Tibetan meaning. is fragment begins 
with the word ‘Nome d’un religioso di Sciachia-tuba [gang- 
in European and Tibetan types respectively ; the fourth 
contains their Tibetan names. 
ordinals from ‘‘ primo, secondo,”’ etc., up to ‘‘ centesimo vige- 
simo primo ’’ with their corresponding Tibetan meanings. 
The MS. ends with a sort of synoptic paradigm of the notations
