1922.j A Contribution to the Bibliography of Tibet. 461 
Mainly about the Kanjur and Tanjur, but with some 
general remarks on Tibetan literature, pp. 6-12, and with 
further matter on the Chinese Tripitaka. 
15. An article by “ X” on The Tibetan Tripitaka, in the 
Imperial and Asiatic quarterly Review, 3rd series, Vol. 28, 
1909, (Woking), pp. 335-337, seems hardly important enough 
to include it here. (See also Addenda, behind.) 
b. Eastern Material. 
In the first place we have the Tibetan material, represent- 
ed by the Tibetan Index published in St. Petersburg (see 
immediately above, a, No. 3), as well as by the various other 
Tibetan indexes preserved in various collections and described 
in various lists. So for instance the several indexes to 
Kanjur and Tanjur in the St. Petersburg list of Schmidt and 
Béhtlingk (see below under m1, extra-canonical literature), which 
cover 23 numbers. What these titles really represent is not at 
all sure as yet. The Schmidt-Bohtlingk list (Nos. 278-279) 
speaks of a Tanjur printed in Potala. My informants main- 
tain that such a Tanjur does not exist. They may be right 
or may be wrong, but the matter deserves inquiry. hey 
explain the existence of several different Kanjur and Tanjur 
indexes by the statement that these refer to manuscript copies 
and not printed ones, Whether true or not, the suggestion 
is interesting enough, 
ext, the oriental material is represented by what can 
be learnt from the Chinese Tripitaka, because we may regard 
this as, in a measure, a Chinese equivalent of the Kanjur and 
Tanjur. Most of our information about this collection is now 
derived from Western scholars, and they have certainly fur- 
nished the material most easily accessible and useable by 
Tibetanists, who may not know Chinese. So the matter is 
Perhaps slightly out of place here under this heading. If so, 
hat may be forgiven. The following publications deserve 
mention, mostly available in India.
