Tibetan Manuscripts from George Henderson, circa 1907
Fragile; handle with care.
Contains a note that reads: "Certificate: I certify that the Manuscripts accompanying this note were brought from the great Monastery of Lhassa, Tibet, by the English Army which occupied Lhassa during the Tibetan war. These leaves were part of a collection under the personal care of D. Macdonald of Darjeeling one of the three interpreters who accompanied the Army. On arrival in Calcutta he was employed by the Government of India for several months classifying the manuscripts for the Calcutta and English Museums. During that time he lived in my house and did some of his work there, so that I am in a position to certify to the genuineness of these leaves as they came direct from Lhassa to me. They are part of a work on the Medicinal and religious properties of plants the smaller leaves being in the nature of an index and description. Signed: George Henderson, Missionary of the Methodist Mission 46, Dharamtala St., Calcutta. January 26th, 07."
