Descrizione

About The Book: This book contain discusses the history of European travelers in Tibet, starting with Friar Odoric in 1325, who left very little information about the country. Three centuries later, in 1624, the Jesuit Antonio Andrada visited Tibet, followed by Fathers Grueber and Dorville in 1661, who stayed in Lh'asa for two months and wrote about the country's customs and religion. In 1716, Jesuit Fathers Desideri and Freyre visited Lh'asa, while the Capuchin Francisco della Penna established a mission there in 1719. In 1774, George Bogle was sent by Warren Hastings to Shigatse to try and open commercial relations with Tibet. Captain Samuel Turner also visited Shigatse in 1783 and published an account of his journey. Thomas Manning traveled to Tibet in 1811 via Pari djong and Gyantse djong, while the Lazarist fathers Hue and Gabet traversed the Ordos, Alashan, the Kokonor and the Tsaidam in 1844, and reached Lh'asa in 1846.
