Summary of the conference:

The book Treasures of Tibet, in the footsteps of Milarepa presents the collection of the Tibet Museum - Fondation Alain Bordier. For over forty years, Alain Bordier has assembled an exceptional collection of works from Tibet, Nepal and India. It was with the arrival of a sumptuously illuminated manuscript relating an ancient version of the life of Milarepa that the project of a publication was born. The aim was to design a book that would highlight this manuscript in relation to the diversity of the collection and its history.

In addition to the presentation of the book by the authors, the manuscript, its illustrations, its contents and the differences between this older version of Milarepa's life, belonging to the category of "Black Treasures", whose compilation is traditionally attributed to the third Karmapa Rang byung rdo rje (1284-1339), and the famous version composed by gTsang smyon he ru ka (1452-1507) will be discussed.

Copies of the book, recently published by Flammarion, will be available for purchase at the conference venue, and a drink will follow the conference. For more information, see the website.

Locating Literature, Lived Religion, and Lives in the Himalayas: The Van Manen Collection
(Localisation de la littérature, de la religion vécue et des vies dans l'Himalaya: la collection Van Manen)

by Berthe Jansen - Leiden University

Tuesday 25 October 2022, at 18:00, auditorium of the Cernuschi Museum.

The Van Manen collection, held at the University Library of Leiden, contains a large number of Tibetan and Himalayan texts. These began to arrive in Leiden in the 1920s and 1930s, when texts were sent from India, together with Sanskrit and other Indian material, by Johan Van Manen (1877-1943). After Van Manen's death in 1943, a large part of his personal collection was also kept at the Kern Institute, which is now part of Leiden University. Later, the objects he collected, both his personal collection and what he had been commissioned to buy for the University, were kept in the Leiden Ethnographic Museum (Museum Volkenkunde) where they remain to this day. While it was a relatively important resource for earlier generations of scholars of Tibetan and wider Himalayan studies, in recent years the collection has become more or less forgotten.

In this talk I will present some of the fascinating aspects of this collection: autobiographies written by non-elite ethnic Tibetans living in the 1920s; a collection of yeti folk stories; rare ritual manuscripts; Van Manen's letters, religious instruments collected in the greater Kalimpong area, etc. I will further elaborate on what a potential study of this multimedia collection as a whole and in its entirety could offer to the fields of Himalayan studies, colonial history, art history I will further elaborate on what a potential study of this multimedia collection as a whole and in its entirety could offer to the fields of Himalayan studies, colonial history, art history, linguistics and museum studies.
