Résumé
The collection of Tibetan block prints and manuscripts kept at the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts, the Russian Academy of Sciences, is one of the world’s largest collections of old Tibetan texts. Editions of the Tibetan Buddhist Canon and separate editions of some canonical texts comprise a significant part of this collection. Their description is to be presented in the first part of its catalogue. It will consist of four volumes. Volumes 1 and 2 (2017, 2019) included the data on the complete editions of the Tibetan Buddhist Canon (Bka’ ’gyur and Bstan ’gyur) kept at the IOM RAS. Volume 3 contains information on the manuscript copies of certain volumes of the canon, separate editions and manuscript copies of large texts of the Bka’ ’gyur (the data on the texts of this category is presented in two sections) and editions of the Gzungs bsdus and Mdo mang collections (more than 3,800 items in total). The volume is supplied with indices and concordances, and a table of stamps.
