On ancient Central-Asian tracks: Brief narrative of three expeditions in innermost Asia and north-western China

Stein, M Aurel, DrBiblio.com

Explorations in Central Asia 1906â€“1908. On title: Separat-Abdruck aus den â€œFÃ¶ldrajzi KÃ¶zlemÃ©nyekâ€ Band XXXVII. Heft 5â€“7.

19091271Budapest: S.n. 1909. First English separate edition. Text in English. In publisherâ€™s printed wrappers. Wrappers restored. Pages with traces of creasing. Otherwise in very good condition. First English separate edition. Text in English. In publisherâ€™s printed wrappers. 28 p. First English separate edition of Steinâ€™s report on his second major expedition to Central Asia between 1906 and 1908. The text is the translation of the paper Stein read at the Hungarian Geographical Society on April 23 and 26 1909 as it is stated on the first page. Although it reads on the cover in German that this is a separate offprint it is misleading because in â€œFÃ¶ldrajzi KÃ¶zlemÃ©nyekâ€ the paper was published in Hungarian supposedly the cover title of the Hungarian edition was â€“ by mistake â€“ also translated and for some reason not into English but German. The first English journal edition with slightly different text is the one in Geographical Journal for July and September 1909 which is the text of Steinâ€™s lecture to the Royal Geographical Society meeting of 8 March 1909. Sir Marc AurÃ©l Stein 1862â€“1943 was a Hungarian born British archaeologist mainly concerned with exploring ancient Central Asia. Member of â€œThe Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empireâ€ as Knight Commander KCIE and Fellow of British Academy. He made four major expeditions to Central Asia in 1900 1906â€“1908 1913â€“1916 and 1930. His greatest discovery was made at Mogao Caves also known as â€œCaves of the Thousand Buddhasâ€ near Dunhuang in 1907. The Stein collection mostly manuscripts and other relics has been placed in the British Library the British Museum and partly to the Srinagar Museum and the National Museum in New Delhi. .

Preface reprinted from Hatim's Tales Kashmiri Stories and Songs recorded with the assistance of Pandit Govind Kaul by Sir Aurel Stein K.C.I.E. & edited with a translation linguistic analysis &c. by Sir George A.

192368822Oxford: privately printed at the Clarendon Press 1923. First edition 8vo pp. 19 1; original brown printed wrappers; some minor creasing slight separation at the top of the spine; all else very good. Inscribed at the top of the from wrapper: "With kindest regards of / A. Stein." Pandit Govind Kaul a respected scholar of Persian and Sanskrit was born in Srinagar and came into contact with Aurel Stein through George Buhler "that doyen of European Indologists . It was Buhler's commendatory reference that attracted Stein's attention towards G.K. and he solicited his assistance in translating Kalhan's Rajatarangini - a job that G.K. along with Pandit Sahaz Bhatt did with utmost competence from 1888 to 1896 and to Stein's great satisfaction. "G.K. went into another collaboration with Stein and fellow scholar Sahaz Bhatt when they classified and catalogued more than six thousand Sanskrit manuscripts for Maharaja Ranbir Singh's library at Raghunath Temple Jammu. Yet another contribution G.K. made was to compile Kashmiri folk tales with Stein which the latter formally edited with George Grierson and published in 1917 as " Hatim's Tales." The tales supposedly told by one Hatim Tilawony were interpreted by Govind Kaul who also rendered assistance to Grierson in the compilation of his Kashmiri dictionary but did not live to see the work completed. Grierson went on to record later that Govind Kaul's assistance to him was "one of the many debts he ever owed to Stein. "On Govind Kaul's death in June 1899 a shocked Stein lamented that Govind Kaul ''like another Kalhana departed as my best Indian friend beyond all hope of reunion in this Janma'. Paying fulsome tributes to him Stein wrote: 'Whenever Govind Kaul was by my side whether in the dusty exile of Lahore or alpine coolness of Mohand Marg in Kashmir I was in continuity with the past as the historical student of India. His personality embodied all that change of ages indicated and showed as the mind and psyche of India'." Nine in OCLC: only Harvard LC and Wisconsin in the US.
