"Irkutsk can be called the first town in Russia (after St Petersburg) where the official teaching of the Oriental languages for interpreters began in the e3arly XVIIIth century. The most studied langauge in Irkutsk was Mongolian for the purpose of propagation Christianity among the Buriyat aborigines and to connect with the Chinese Ch'ing Empire's governors inUrga. However, the relations with Chinese officials required also Manchu and Chinese interpreters, the last ones especially from the middle of XIXth century, when the trade with China increased. Nowadays, although Irkutsk has lost its meaning as the school of the Oriental languages, the collections of old Mongolian, Tibetan, Manchu and Chinese blockprints and manuscripts are kept in the Irkutsk State United Museum ., the Irkutsh State University ., The State Archives of the Irkutsk Region . This catalogue gives the description of the Chinese and Manchu part of these collections in its present state." ; Arkhiv rossiiskogo vostokovedeniia; 139 pages.
