摘要
In a spirit of homage to Professor Giuseppe Tucci for his unique contributions to the history of Tibet, and to contribute to the diffusion of his intellectual and artistic heritage, in 2006 and 2008, Professor Elena De Rossi Filibeck graciously invited me to Università "La Sapienza" Roma as visiting professor to study three previously unpublished Tibetan manuscripts of the Prajñāpāramitā with illuminations collected by Professor Tucci. The study of the codicology and art historical analysis of these three manuscripts sheds further light on the distinctive characteristics of manuscripts collected by Professor Tucci during his travels in Western Himalayas and Western Tibet 1933-1937 (Tucci 1935, 1937, 1949 and De Rossi Filibeck 1996, 2003, 2007) These three manuscripts had remained in Tucci's possession and were posthumously acquired by the Tucci archive at the IsIAO. They are part of a corpus produced in the context of the 10th to 11th century revival of Buddhism promoted by the royal patronage of the kingdoms of Guge-Pu hrang, at their capitals in Tholing and Khojarnath respectively.
In the present study, the focus is the study of the fragmentary manuscript 1329 E, an isolated illuminated leaf, which affords comparison, in terms of Kashmiri aesthetic grammar and archaic Tibetan codicology, with the renowned Prajñāpāramitā manuscripts collected at Tholing by Tucci, now conserved in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Furthermore, the IsIAO manuscript 1329 E has been subjected to scientific analysis (radiocarbon and paper composition) the results of which will be presented here. In order to introduce the aesthetic criteria for art historical analysis, a brief summary of characteristics of style and technique will be presented prior to the textual discussion of the manuscript fragment.
