THE MONGOLIAN TRANSLATION OF THE TIBETAN MEDICAL TREATISE “GYALPO-KORDZO”

Full
text RU

Abstract

The article is devoted to studying the handwritten Mongolian translation of “Gyalpo-kordzo”, the earliest Tibetan medical treatise written by Jetsun Dragpa Gyaltsen (1147-1216). This monument of the Tibetan literature and its translation into the Old Mongolian written language have not been previously examined in the foreign and domestic Tibetan studies. The authors conclude that this treatise was compiled in the period of the formation of the basic canon of the Tibetan medicine “Zhud-Shi”. The paper provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of “Gyalpo-kordzo” and “Zhud-Shi” treaties. By the example of the analysed manuscript, the paper shows that the Mongolian people created a full-fledged system for interpretation and assimilation of such a complicated system of knowledge as the Tibetan medicine through the native language.
