First published in 1834, this was the first known dictionary of Tibetan, by the founder of the field of Tibetology. Containing over 20,000 entries with English translations, it begins with a useful guide to understanding Tibetan words, and the entries themselves are arranged primarily under the language's thirty consonants.

Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This English-Tibetan dictionary contains 16,000 main entries and subentries, a total of 45,000 lexical items. The dictionary is primarily oriented to spoken communication and was designed to be semantically sensitive, bridging the semantic gap between Tibetan and English. Tibetan terms corresponding to submeanings of English subterms are specified, and each entry in the dictionary includes both the Tibetan orthography and a phonemic notation to indicate pronunciation. Grammatical features are noted, and all examples of usage are presented with the romanization of the Tibetan and phonemic notation of the spoken forms. An introductory essay outlines the main features of Tibetan grammar. (MSE)

《西藏民間故事與寓言》乃德國藏學家 Franz Anton Schiefner（斯福爾）譯自《甘珠爾》的作品，再由 William Ralston Shedden 從德文譯成英文。《甘珠爾》裏的故事大量取材梵文寫成的古印度婆羅門故事。 此電子版經由編著譯者鄭玉萍編制校對及修正錯別字。此英譯版為英式英語，不過，標點符號的使用風格卻不嚴謹，介於英式與美式之間。 “Tibetan Tales Derived from Indian Sources” 一書為公共版權。
