and having remarked on the survival of Bon in other parts of the same region, the A. publishes an inscription discovered at Dullu, containing the genealogy of the Malla Kings, who ruled on Western Tibet and Nepal. It therefore ensues that the Kings of Western Tibet are not to be all considered Tibetan, as it was formerly believed, since some of them are Khasia. The A. also publishes some Tibetan texts, which supply many elements for the reconstruction of the administrative divisions of Tibet during the 8th cent. and tries to establish the extent of the reign of Žan Žun (Western Tibet).

Lit. 11.000

3-L. PETECH, Mediaeval history of Nepal (c. 750-1480). Rome 1958. 18 x 25 cm.; pp. 250.
Lit. 5.000
The history of Nepal in the Middle Ages is here reconstructed from the original documents (colophons of mss., inscriptions, chronicles). The dynastic framework has thus been laid upon a solid basis, and the peculiar system of astronomical chronology followed in Nepal has been discovered and elucidated.
XI - R. GNOLI, The aesthetic experience according to Abhinavagupta. Rome
1956 (out of print). 16 x 24 cm.; pp. XXXII-122. Contents: Introduction, Text, Translation, with two Appendices, and general Index.
The A. presents through this work an outstanding contribution in a field still largely unexplored. One of the fundamental texts on Aesthetics by the great saiva philosopher and rhetor Abhinavagupta is here for the first time edited and studied on scientific lines. Through a deeper and closer analysis of this text it is to be seen how, with Abhinavagupta, the study of aesthetic experience is definitely emancipated from empirical rhetoric, and is framed within an organic vision of reality.
XII - J. F. ROCK, The Amnye ma-Chhen Range and adjacent Regions.
Rome 1956. 18 x 25 cm.; pp. 194 with 85 plates and five colour maps.
Lit. 6.500
Here is a historical-geographical study on the three vast regions of Western China, and the north-eastern areas of Tibet, especially with regard to the range of the Amnye Ma-Chhen and the adjacent regions.
