Many of the plates are stamped with library stamps on blank side. <br> Sarat Chandra Das 1849-1917 was a Bengali scholar of Tibet. Das has been described as "a traveler explorer.linguist a lexicographer an ethnographer and an eminent Tibetologist." Das was also a British spy. Born in Chittagong Das trained as an engineer in Calcutta. He became headmaster of the Bhutia Boarding School in Darjeeling. Bhutia was a school for Sikkimese and Tibetan boys many of who would be trained to fill a special place in the British colonial regime the role of a Pundit. Das became a "pundit" and an instructor at the school for British intelligence. Pundits acted as a network of British-trained operatives who were tasked to make inroads in the foreboding inner regions of Asia where white embassies could not gain entry. Tibet and other inland areas were increasingly gaining attention from competing British Russian and Chinese economic and strategic interests. Derek Waller speculates that the character of Huree Chunder Mookerjee in Kipling's Kim was based on Das p.193. As a teacher Das learned Tibetan to speak with his students. He read the limited books on the region available notably of Bogle 1773-5 and Manning's travels 1811 to Tibet. Manning and Bogle were the last successful British explorations of Tibet a nation who steadfastly resisted western intrusion. Das's language ability secured him entry with his colleague Lama Ugyen Gyasto to Tashilhunpo monastery in 1879 as the Prime Minister wished to learn Hindi from him. In 1881 Das returned to Tashilhunpo and made his way to Lhasa Sakya and the Tsangpo River. There he met with Thupten Gyatso the 13th Dalai Lama d. 1933 and returned to Darjeeling with a Yak loaded with over 200 Tibetan manuscripts. After Das was revealed to be a British agent Tibetan authorities increased restrictions on travelers and the Minister who had sponsored his entry was put to death. What makes Das's expedition so interesting is that he successfully brought back a wealth of information on an unknown land to the larger world. The Tibet that Das glimpsed is now gone with the passage of history and the destructive forces of modernity and Chinese domination. This book compiles the story of Das's journey his reports photographs diagrams ethnographic observations etc of a lost Tibet. Das went on to become an important Tibetan scholar and author an extensive multi-volume dictionary. The British would not successfully return to Tibet until 1903-4 with Colonel Francis Edward Younghusband's exhibition invasion and massacre of ~5000 Tibetans. Significantly Younghusband was the President of the Royal Geographical Society which notably published the 1902 edition of Das's book. An interesting and dark connection to Das's legacy.

Lugduni Batavorum Leiden: Ex Officinâ Ioannis Maire 1649. First separate and first Latin edition of "La Géometrie". 18th-century leather binding with spine lettering wear to corners and ends but binding is firm. Occasional foxing. The previous owner was John Fitzwilliam died 1699 who was elected fellow of Magdalen in 1661 and became the librarian there in 1662. He would become tutor to Lady Rachel Wriothesley later Lady Russell whose husband Lord Russel was executed under the Rhy House Plot to assassinate King Charles II. The work for a time was part of the private library of Makree Castle in Collooney Ireland but was later owned by the celebrated collector philanthropist Harrison Horblit. "The work was the first to propose the idea of uniting algebra and geometry into a single subject and invented an algebraic geometry called analytic geometry which involves reducing geometry to a form of arithmetic and algebra and translating geometric shapes into algebraic equations. For its time this was ground-breaking. It also contributed to the mathematical ideas of Leibniz and Newton and was thus important in the development of calculus." $12000.00</p> hardcover
