"What's Where" in Manchu Literature

This “What’s Where” registers more then 2500 titles of Manchu and Sibe xylographs and manuscripts as found in 75 catalogues, together with the institutions where they are or were kept. A second section, titled “Chinese-Manchu Concordance”, allows to identify those works which are known or mentioned with their Chinese titles only. The third section, “Alphabetical List without Initial Formulas”, facilitates the identification of Manchu works which are generally found with so-called initial formulas like “Han-i araha” etc. An introductory chapter discusses some issues of Manchu bibliography. The “What’s Where” offers a preliminary but substantially complete and up-dated survey of Manchu and Sibe works on the basis of specific catalogues compiled on a worldwide level.
