First published in 1932.
As well as an extensive introduction, this edition contains notes
to all four books, a bibliographical index, a general index and an
index of Tibetan words. The introduction is particularly valuable
in that it sets the importance of Desideri's mission in the general
context of the Jesuit Missions to Tibet.
In Desideri's account we receive the first accurate general
description of Tibet: from the natural world to the sociological
and anthropological aspects of the people and a complete exposition
of Lamaism. His is the only complete reconstruction that we possess
of the Tibetan religion, founded entirely on canonical texts. And
all of this more than a century before Europeans had any knowledge
of the Tibetan language.
