Records of Tho.ling: A Literary and Visual Reconstruction of the 'Mother' Monastery in Gu.ge
Roberto Vitali
The monograph is a first-ever attempt at reconstructing on paper the monastery of Tho.ling,
the most important religious site of West Tibet. Part 1 assesses the history of Tho.ling
from its foundation in 996 by the monk-king Ye shes'od and the translator Rin chen bzang po,
up to the 19th century. Part 2 uses hitherto unknown documents belonging to Tho.ling to
identify all its temples, chapels, stupas and other buildings composing the monastic complex.
