母語話者数世界最大のシナ・チベット諸語の長年にわたる研究史から重要論文66点を精選収録。This four-volume collection focuses on journal articles, with a small selection of seminal contributions from the book literature. Although the majority of the material is drawn from sources published in the past thirty years, some classic pieces are included; for example, a paper on Tibetan initials by F. K. Li which was published in 1933 and has never been surpassed.
