Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Harvard-Yenching Institute, Scripta Mongolica Monograph Series I., Cambridge, Mass. 1962/. Pp. vii, 104, 12 plates, wrappers. French text. These letters, considered to be important documents of preclassical written Mongolian, were discovered in the Archives Nationales de France by the French Orientalist Abel-Remusat and published in 1824 in lithographic form, with a transcription, a partial translation and a commentary. In the same year Isaak Jakob Schmidt published his own transcription and translation in St. Petersburg which was flawed. The Reverend Mostaert's study represents a completely new approach to the letters and their subjects. [No library stamps/markings].
