The Swiss physical chemist and nobel laureate Prof. Dr. Richard R. Ernst who passed away a few years ago, had acquired a large collection of Tibetan and Mongolian xylographs and manuscripts over the course of several decades. The catalogue presents the Mongolian part of this unique collection, which consists of 275 individual texts. The oldest of the texts described here date from the 17th century, the youngest are from the first half of the 20th century. The collection encompasses the full range of Mongolian literature, from translations of the Tibetan Buddhist canon to ritual instructions, astrological texts, and divinatory manuals, from historical works and narrative literature to multilingual terminological dictionaries, medical treatises and administrative documents. The collection also includes some richly illustrated stories about the Buddhist hells.

The Swiss chemist Prof. Dr. Richard R. Ernst, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1991 for his pioneering contributions to the development of high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, had a deep interest in Tibetan art since a brief stay in Nepal in 1968. He discovered Tibetan thangkas at the market in Kathmandu, and ever since then he has been captivated by these works of art, which were initially very foreign to him but nonetheless inspired him with their “fantastic colorfulness” (Ernst 2018, 8). Not only did he start collecting Tibetan thangkas, but his passion for Tibetan artwork led him to study Tibetan Buddhist religion and philosophy in depth1 and to become committed to social engagement in the Tibetan exile-institutions, in particular the monastic Tibet Institute in Rikon, Switzerland. In later years, he began to study the Tibetan culture of the book. As he told me in a conversation in 2003, the inspiration stemmed from an elaborately carved wooden Tibetan book cover that he had acquired. He began collecting Tibetan manuscripts and printed scriptures many of which he acquired via the Internet since the late 1990s. Although it is difficult to establish the provenance of the more than 800 individual Tibetan texts, in manuscript and xylograph formats, most of them probably originate from Mongolia. At any rate, this can be concluded from the large number of texts written or printed on paper that was produced in the paper mills situated in the Vyatka province in the north of the European part of the Tsarist Empire and imported into Mongolia. But we also find xylographs from Beijing and works bound in the Chinese style of double-leaved books in the collection, and even European notebooks.

Among the offers that reached Professor Ernst via the Internet were Mongolian illuminated manuscripts. They provided the initial spark for his fascination with Mongolia and all things Mongolian. Of the Mongolian manuscripts and xylographs, which he now acquired alongside the Tibetan ones, he was particularly interested in the jiruγ-tu nom, illustrated stories, the majority of which depicted the numerous Buddhist hells with powerful imagery. The Mongolian part of the collection therefore contains a whole series of illuminated manuscripts. However, the Mongolian part is considerably smaller than the Tibetan one. It contains a total of 201 units, some of which comprise more than one work. In total, the Mongolian part consists of 275 individual works. The relatively small proportion of Mongolian-language works compared to the Tibetan texts of the collection tells us something about the character of the collection as a whole: Many of the works are religious, and the language of Buddhism in Mongolia has been predominantly Tibetan since the late seventeenth century. As a result, the demand for religious texts in the Mongolian language was relatively low.

The present catalogue describes the Mongolian part of the collection assembled by Richard Ernst. In it, the translation literature from the Tibetan Buddhist canon, the Kanjur, forms the most substantial category with fifty works. The outstanding importance of the Vajracchedikā-Prajñāpāramitā for the Mongols is reflected in the fact that this work is represented in a total of eighteen copies. The collection contains seven copies of the Thar pa chen po and two editions of the Pañcarakṣā. Buddhist parables were immensely popular in the Mongolian regions, so it is not surprising that the Ocean of parables (M. üliger-ün dalai) is represented by three copies of two translators. Non-canonical religious texts include two gZungs bsdus editions, one of which has already been described in detail elsewhere (Kollmar-Paulenz 2015). The importance that Buddhist ideas on rebirth must have played in the Mongolian regions becomes clear from the fact that the Mongolian version of the Tibetan Book of the Dead is represented six times. This impression is reinforced by the total of twelve texts that deal exclusively with Buddhist hells and peregrination motifs. The collection is also rich in ritual, prayer, divination and astrological texts. These categories comprise a total of sixty-two texts.

Narrative works form a further focus. Among them we find the translation of the Mani gambum prepared by Manju siri darqan blam-a as well as the hagiography of Milarepa and stories from the cycle of Vikramāditya but also translations of Chinese novels such as The Tale of the Three Kingdoms.

Linguistics makes up many secular works. They mostly include bi- and quadrilingual terminological dictionaries such as the famous Tibetan-Mongolian Dag yig mkhas pa’i ’byung gnas, which exists in three, albeit incomplete, editions. The bilingual dictionary composed by the A la sha lha ram pa Ngag dbang bstan dar in 1838 is also represented by three copies. The well-known quadrilingual (Manchu-Mongolian-Chinese-Tibetan) dictionary Duin hacin-i hergen kamciha buleku bithe/ Dörben jüil-ün üsüg qabsuruγsan toli bičig is represented by four (incomplete) copies. There is also a bilingual Manchu-Mongolian dictionary.

The collection also includes a few historical and biographical works, as well as official documents. There are two volumes from the Iledkel Šastir, and the well-known biography of Tsong kha pa is represented by a few incomplete copies, as well as some official documents from the time of the theocratic government and the socialist period before the scriptural reform in 1941.

In addition to the works written in Uighur-Mongolian script, there are also a number of Oirat works written in the “clear script”. Most of them are copies of canonical works. We also find several bilingual Tibetan-Mongolian works.

As already mentioned, Richard Ernst acquired most of his extensive collection of Tibetan and Mongolian manuscripts and xylographs via the Internet, as I learned from conversations with him. However, he was always reluctant to reveal his individual retailers so that, as in the case of the Tibetan works, the exact provenance of the Mongolian works cannot be determined in most cases. He also purchased some books directly on site in Ulaanbaatar when he visited Mongolia on his lecture tours. For example, he once told me by email from Mongolia about the purchase of the above-mentioned Mani gambum which he had bought in a store near Sukhbaatar Square in Ulaanbaatar. He informed me that the work was now on its way to Switzerland by post, directly to the Institute for the Science of Religion.

From the mid-2000s, the majority of Ernst’s manuscript and xylograph collection was kept in the Bern Institute for cataloguing. Daniel Scheidegger, the then Tibetan lecturer at the Institute for the Science of Religion, compiled a title list for the Tibetica in the collection. This list was later supplemented by the author of this catalogue. In 2021 Richard Ernst passed away, and in 2022 his widow, Magdalena Ernst, donated the Tibetica in the collection to the monastic Tibet Institute in Rikon. The list of titles can be found on the library's homepage (https://tibet-institut.ch/content/tir/de/library_content.html, under “Bequests and donations”: Tibetica Richard R. Ernst), and the works can be viewed on site. The Tibetan part of the collection also contains a few Mongolian-language texts. They are mentioned here for reasons of documentation. The Mongolian texts in Rikon include an illustrated Molom toyin text (coll. call number ET 973), an incomplete bilingual edition of the Dran pa nyer bzhag (coll. call number ET 976) and a manuscript of the canonical Thar pa chen po (coll. call number ET 880). Most remarkable, however, is the Beijing xylograph in two volumes of the Mani gambum in the translation of the Rab ’byams pa Chos rje Jaya Paṇḍita of the Erkečüs, which the latter had prepared during his stay at the Öljeitü monastery on the banks of the Irtysh river “on the western side of the richly forested Altai Qan” (vol. 2, fol. 274r) from 1643 to the winter of 1644 (coll. call number ET 972). However, the work was not printed until 1712. The text in the Tibetan part of the Ernst Collection is the reprint from 1736 (vol. 2, fol. 275r). This Mongolian Beijing xylograph, which is now kept in Rikon, had been stored separately from the other books in the collection by Professor Ernst in his home, carefully wrapped in airtight plastic wrap. The reason for this separate storage became apparent when the librarian in Rikon, Renate Koller, and I unpacked the first volume: the first fifty or more folios had been literally eaten away by mold in the upper right half. This volume is in a very poor state of preservation and requires careful restoration.

Magdalena Ernst generously bequeathed the Mongolian part of the collection to the Institute for the Science of Religion. As the professional storage of such a collection exceeds the possibilities of an institute, the University Library of the University of Bern has kindly agreed to include the Mongolica in its Special Collections.

Beyond the attempt to acquire as many illuminated manuscripts as possible, Richard Ernst did not collect according to a recognizable system. He apparently bought whatever was offered to him and aroused his interest. As a result, the collection also includes rarities such as a Manchu language manual of human physiognomy. Although Chinese language manuals of this kind are known (Kohn 1986), I am not aware of any Manchu ones. As the contents of the manual could not be identified more precisely, I have classified this rare book among the unidentified works.

During the cataloguing of the Mongolica, it turned out that two works, an old manuscript of the Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa and a print of the Gesar Epic from the Kangxi era, contained stamps from two Mongolian libraries. These books were almost certainly removed from the respective libraries and sold via the Internet. It was therefore decided that these works should be restituted to Mongolia and the appropriate steps were taken. Although they are no longer part of the current physical collection, they are described in the catalogue as they built part of the original collection.

In the catalogue, the works are assigned to the following categories:

A Buddhist canonical works
B non-canonical upadeśas
C history and biography
D narrative literature
E Buddhist commentary
F didactic works
G ritual
H prayer
J descriptions of Sukhāvatī
K guidebooks to holy sites
L descriptions of Buddhist hells and peregrination tales
M divination and astrology
N epic and tales
O epistles and prophecies
P medicine
Q language
R official documents
S miscellanea
T unidentified works

The assignment of individual works to the categories used here is not always clear-cut. A ritual work may, for example, contain divinatory traits or aspects of a prayer. In some cases, the decision as to which category a work is assigned to is therefore somewhat arbitrary. However, since there is no standard classification system for catalogues of Mongolica, the assignment of individual works to the different categories should be treated with leniency.

Richard Ernst has often acquired bundles of works and assigned them a uniform call number. During cataloguing, it turned out that some of these bundles contained works of different categories. However, as the storage of the collection in the Special Collections holdings reflects the original unity, such bundles are consistently described under “Miscellanea”. Among the Miscellanea is one bundle of a total of 42 individual texts, many of them prayers or short ritual texts. This bundle, wrapped in a cloth (Khalkh.-M. barintag), represents a collection that was compiled in the Mongolian regions either by laymen or monks and used in daily liturgical practice. Their practical size made it possible to always carry the texts with them. They were traditionally worn under the deel, the Mongolian garment, on the bosom and are therefore also known as “bosom books” (Khalkh.-M. övör nom).

Two illuminated manuscripts (ET 427 and ET 325) are the only works (apart from the Mongolian books mentioned above, which ended up in Rikon) that were not brought to the Institute for the Science of Religion for cataloguing because they were in an extremely poor state of preservation. They remained with Professor Ernst. In the meantime, Magdalena Ernst has donated the collection of Mongolian thangkas, tsaglis and other art objects, including the two manuscripts, to the Museum der Kulturen in Basel. Both manuscripts will be integrated into the Ernst Collection of Mongolian Manuscripts and Xylographs at a later date. In the meantime, photographic illustrations are available as substitutes.

Some selected texts are made available online as PDFs.

Layout of the catalogue

The description of the works is arranged as follows:

Running number of the catalogue.

Title of the work, if available. In the case of canonical works, the Tibetan and Sanskrit titles (if available) are also given.

Library signature.

Old coll. call number.

Technical description: manuscript or xylograph, type of book, format, number of folios/pages, number of lines per folio/page, marginal title and pagination. The technical description also contains special features such as double pagination, illustrations, glosses, etc. and, if deemed important, comments on the condition of the work.

Cover title (if available), incipit and terminatur. If a colophon is available, in most cases the colophon is given in transcription, or at least the relevant data contained therein is given in English summary. For some works a detailed table of contents is provided. If it seems necessary, a brief characterization of the work is given.

References to copies held in other libraries are provided only sparingly. A complete list of references would have exceeded the scope of the catalogue. For technical reasons, the references are given in the notes.

The indices contain the titles or, in the case of untitled works, the incipit. The bibliography includes only the works that have been cited.

 A Note on Transliteration and Transcription

The transliteration of the Tibetan follows Wylie. Classical Mongolian is rendered in the transliteration by Mostaert/Vladimirtsov with one exception: ǰ is transcribed as j. Manchu follows the transliteration of Jerry Norman. Chinese is rendered in Pinyin. The transliteration of Sanskrit follows the internationally established standards. Tibetan and Mongolian terms that have become part of everyday language, such as Kanjur or Milarepa, are rendered in their simplified form.

The translation was prepared from Tibetan translations done by Dharmatala and Lotsaba Vairocana, Rakshita and Sang Suryaprabha. This translation was included in the St. Petersburg Kanjur, but not in the printed Kanjur of 1718/20, compare the colophon in Ligeti 1942-44, No. 766.1 The colophon of the St. Petersburg Kanjur edition is nearly identical to the colophon in the Ernst collection, except that the Kanjur colophon does not mention Tümen erdeni sečen qung tayiji.2

Notes

Heissig 1954, p. 21, writes that the translation incorporated into the printed Kanjur is identical with the Ligdan Qaγan-Kanjur. This has to be corrected. ↩︎

The Altan gerel was first printed in 1659 in Beijing (Heissig 1954, No. 2). The rhymed colophon of the copy of the Ernst collection is identical with the colophon of the printed edition of 1721, with the exception that the name of the monk who prepared the edition for print is omitted (compare Heissig/Sagaster 1961, No. 185). No date is given.1

According to this short colophon which does not mention the translator, the printing of the book started on “the auspicious seventh day of the new moon of the first autumn month of the female blue snake year of the fourth year of Engke amuγulang of the great Qing Empire, and was finished on the twenty-fifth of the last autumn month of the same year”, that is 1665. We know of a printed edition just two years later, 1667 (compare Uspensky 1999, 15), that shows that this Sūtra was in high demand.1

The translation prepared by Ayusi Güsi (late 16th c.) based on the earlier translation by Shes rab seng ge. Some of the scribes listed in the colophon are also mentioned in the colophon of the copy preserved at the Library of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Kara 2000, No. 78), but some (Kičiyenggüi ubasi, Qongqai darqan ubasi, Dgendün rinchin, Badm-a naqai, Gregelden mergen sanding baγsi, Uqun-a baγsi) are mentioned here for the first time. A date and place for this copy are also provided, namely the 16th day of the tenth month of a tiger year in the north of Burqatai. The Stockholm xylograph gives a similar date and adds engke amuγulang-un qorin tabtaγar on, the 25th year of the Kangxi-era, corresponding to A.D. 1686.20

According to the colophon the translation was prepared by the Darqan Manjusiri Tsulkrims loroi (Tshul khrims blo gros) at the request of the Sečen čögökür tayiji. The scribe was Sanding baγsi. No date is given, but we know from other sources that the Darqan Manjusiri was active in the first half of the 17th century (Heissig 1954, p. 21, n. 5).

The xyl. seems to be identical with the one in Kaschewsky 1971. It includes in chapter tha the summary of Tsongkhapa’s vita, Boγda tsongkhaba-yin gegen-ü namtar-un quriyangγui udq-a, and in chapter da the Boγda tsongkhaba-yin namtar-un jirüken. Chapter da contains in an additional fol. 7, apart from a short Tibetan account of the printing process, the following printing remark at the bottom of the fol.: ene keb nigen mingγan naiman jaγun dalan on-u qaburun segül sarayin sayin edür tegüskejü gülüng naγur-un dačang-un dergedekisü-ün sayin bayišing dotor orošiγulan jalaγdabai: “This printing block was finished on an auspicious day in the last month of spring 1870, and was installed in the hall next to the Gülüng Naγur monastery.”1 The xyl. of the Ernst collection thus stems from Buryatia.2

Ms, pothi, 37,2 : 16 cm, fol. 1-190r, 21-27 lines, left margin r: Mongolian pagination, calamus; throughout the text Tibetan personal names and terms are glossed in red ink; infrequently Mongolian glosses in black ink; thick Chinese paper. The left half of fol. 188 is missing and has been replaced by lined paper on which the missing text has been written in pencil. Fols. 189 and 190 have been repaired by glueing paper strips around the edges that conceal individual letters or words. On fol. 186r the Russian factory stamp fabriki naslednikov Sumkina No. 7 is clearly visible on the paper strip used for the repair. The title fol. is pasted with white cardboard with a square cut in the center. The cutout can be lifted to reveal the title underneath on the original fol. In the middle of fol. 9v the red seal of the National Library is stamped: ulus-un nom-un sang, and the number 2556 in black ink is written in the upper margin. This text will be restituted to the National Library in Ulaanbaatar.

Translation of the Hundred Thousand Songs of Mi la ras pa by Siregetü güüsi čorji at the request of the Onbo Qung Tayiji. The xylograph edition titled Getülgegči milarasba-yin tuγuji: egesiglegsen mgur bum is described by Heissig/ Sagaster 1961, no. 147. The colophon attached to the manuscript edition was transcribed and published by Jadamba 1959, 3-44. In his rhymed colophon Siregetü güüsi čorji does not mention a date of his translation (Heissig 1954, 119). The colophon of the ms. in the Ernst collection, however, mentions a date: “This sutra […] has been translated and arranged [...] on the auspicious 15th day of the 9th month of the hare year.” The hare year mentioned here is perhaps 1615. Otherwise, the colophon of the manuscript corresponds to the colophon of the printed edition of Beijing.1

Description and praise of the 15 previous emanations of the Second lČang skya Qutuγtu Rol pa’i rdo rje (1717-1786). The work was composed (probably before 1776)5 by the Third Panchen Lama Blo bzang dpal ldan ye shes in Tibetan under the title Dad pa’i pad mo kha yongs su ’byed pa’i gru char and translated into Mongolian by Dai güisi. The original Mongolian title of this translation is Getülgegči oγoγata tegüsügsen šasin-i geyigülügči degedü blama guvan ding puu šan zi da gu srigi lčang sgya rin po ce degedü qubilγan beye-tü-yin töröl-ün üyes-eče erkilen toγurbiju jalbarin batu-da orosiγulqu ünen üges-i ügülegsen süsüg-ün lingqu-a-yi delgeregülügči jögelen qura kemekü orosiba.6 The text of the Ernst collection is a later, second translation of the work, prepared towards the end of the 18th century by Damba jorači7 according to the request of Sonam of the Siluγun köke of the Naiman-banner under the slightly divergent title given in the colophon above. The scribe was Šaγšabad from the Yamandaga süme at Beijing. There also exists a trilingual edition (Sanskrit-Tibetan-Mongolian), see Heissig 1954, No. 154, and Uspensky 1999, No. 512.

The text was translated into German by Unkrig 1950.8

Description of the Sukhāvatī, composed by the Čaqar gebsi Blo bzang tshul khrims, here called Tsulkrims, on the request of the Maniči Gendun gelong. Although the Tibetan title of the manuscript suggests a translation from the Tibetan, the text is a genuine Mongolian work,6 making use of two works written by Tsong kha pa, the Sugavadi-dur törökü-yin irüger degedü oron-u qaγalγ-a negegči and the Abida-yin maγtaγal (fol. 42v18-43r4), as well as other teachings transmitted by the A kya Gegen Blo bzang bstan pa’i rgyal mtshan. The manuscript of the Ernst collection is based on a xylograph prepared at the initiative of Darqan nangso gelong ngagvang sodba from the Čaqar Čaγan aγula-yin süme. Heissig 1954, p. 111-113, gives a brief summary of the contents of the Sügevadi-yin oron-u jokiyal, based on the Beijing xyl. of the work.7

Ms, 35 : 22 cm, page 1-23v, 22 lines, left margin r: Mongolian pagination; Russian paper, on some pages factory stamp with hammer and sickle visible, some fols. have been torn and later repaired.

Term. (23v) (30) molom qatun (31) inu sayitur tonilaqu inu ene bolai::

An illustrated book (jiruγ-tu nom) recounting the tale of Molon/Molom toyin who rescues his mother from the Buddhist hells. On the upper half of each page illustrations tell the story, and in the lower part the text follows. In many places the illustrations provide additional information to the text. The book does not contain a colophon. According to the paper used, it must have been produced in the late 1920s or early 1930s, in the Mongolian People’s Republic. The language of the text contains Khalkh-Mongolian colloquialisms, but some of the illustrations, like the wooden coffin in fol. 2r, point to Chinese influence and an origin in Inner Mongolia. Perhaps the text and the images were copied from an Inner Mongolian original, but the images were not or only partially adjusted to local customs.3

Notes

A piece of the left lower fol. has been torn away and later repaired. The missing text has been added in different hand-writing and thick black pencil. We probably have to add: nom-dur. ↩︎

Perhaps, the whole passage can be reconstructed thus: blam-a-dur mörgömüi: burqan-dur mörgömüi: nom-dur mörgömüi: bursang quvaraγ-ud-tur mörgömüi. ↩︎

Parts 1 and 2 of the work consist of the well-known Tibetan-Mongolian phrasebook, composed by the First lČang skya Qutuγtu Ngag dbang blo bzang chos ldan at the request of the Kangxi emperor, with the help of the Sayid mGon po skyabs (the director of the Tibetan school at Beijing), the Da blama bsTan ’dzin chos dar, Blo bzang tshe ring, Ngag dbang phun tshogs and the Tüsimel Abida. It was compiled at the initiative of the Jasag Da Lama Dam pa dge slong. Part 3 is an addition to the phrasebook, perhaps the addition which was composed by Güüsi bilig-ün dalai of the Urat, Güüsi blo bzang bzod pa of the Qalqa and members of the Mongolian school in Beijing in 1737 and printed in the same year.2

Three sections (ka, kha, ja) of the Tibetan-Mongolian terminological dictionary in 11 sections, which was prepared in 1741-1742 by 25 Tibetan and Mongolian learned lamas, led by the Second lČang skya Qutuγtu Rol pa’i rdo rje. The dictionary was compiled to be put to use in the translation endeavour of the Tibetan bsTan ’gyur into the Mongolian language undertaken by Rol pa’i rdo rje and a team of 35 translators upon the request of the Qianlong emperor.

The copy preserved at Berlin (Heissig/Sagaster 1961, No. 534) has the same measurements as the xylograph of the Ernst collection.

 Acknowledgements

It remains for me to express my deep gratitude to those who have contributed to the realization of the catalogue. At an early stage of its compilation, Piotr Sobkowiak (University of Bern) proofread it thoroughly and discovered some errors in the transcriptions that I had overlooked. Lhagvademchig Jadamba (National University of Mongolia) provided invaluable help in identifying some Tibetan ritual texts written in Mongolian transcription. Dorothea Heuschert-Laage (University of Bonn) was of great help in identifying the Manchu translation of a Chinese Confucian classic. I would like to thank Elio Pellin, Jan Stutzmann, Denis Maier and Mathias Stocker (University of Bern) for the technical implementation of the catalogue to meet the requirements of an electronic publication. Elio Pellin and Ulrike Bürger, the head of the Rare Manuscripts Department of the University Library of Bern, have been supporting the inclusion of the catalogue in the BOP series from the very beginning, for which I am very grateful. Petra Hanschke, Head of Conservation at the University Library, expertly managed the relocation of the collection from the Institute for the Science of Religion to the University Library. It is mainly thanks to her that the collection is now stored appropriately and that the religious aspects of its preservation are also considered in a respectful manner. And finally, Ekaterina Sobkovyak (University of Bern) has brought the entire catalogue into the form necessary for electronic publication. I would like to thank them all for their commitment and contribution to the success of this project. Any remaining errors are my sole responsibility.

The catalogue is dedicated to Magdalena Ernst, who has bequeathed this unique collection to the Institute for the Science of Religion and the University of Bern with rare generosity.
