That means 2/3rds of the issues still need to be located and added."<br /><br />Your conclusion from that statement is not actually correct. The 97 issues that have been digitized represent the physical holdings in the possession of Columbia University.<br /> In fact, copies of nearly the entire run of the Tibet Mirror have been located and digital copies of varying quality exist for all of these. Negotiations with various institutions are underway to allow online access to the remaining extant issues of the newspaper (including the acquisition of higher quality digital images of some). These will hopefully become available in the coming months and years.<br /> At present, there remain less than a dozen issues unaccounted for and should any individual know of any obscure or private collections of the Tibet Mirror, they should be encouraged to contact the Columbia University Libraries.<br /><br />Paul H.Paul Hhttp://www.columbia.edu/~ph2046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-39783407406431382472009-05-21T03:21:23.820+03:002009-05-21T03:21:23.820+03:00Dear Dan,

But the imperative of blag pa, which means to perk up your ears to hear something, needs a final 's' on the end.<br /><br />Which is not to subtract from the cleverness of it. Anyway, just imagine if we start understanding blogging as the imperative to listen closely and carefully.<br /><br />Rather than the unchecked freedom to blah blah and blather on and on ad nauseam (and leave a semi-permanent record!).<br /><br />Or do we blog just so we can hear ourselves better?<br /><br />That's a thought.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-57092396891044296422009-05-13T00:16:00.000+03:002009-05-13T00:16:00.000+03:00I changed the name of Tharchin's famous newspaper,...I changed the name of Tharchin's famous newspaper, in the interest of accuracy, to <EM>Tibet Mirror</EM> (which is used only on some of the more recent issues — it seems a few very early ones used "The Tibetan Newspaper"), instead of the "Tibetan Mirror" I used before. Many thanks for the constructive criticism from I.E. I.E. also tells me that the third volume of Fader's book has just now seen light. I'm hoping I.E. (and you) will leave comments here and let me know any other inaccuracies, especially if they are as easy to fix as these were.<br /><br />Yours,<br />DanDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10453904366382251766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32671574.post-15014053295973485712009-05-12T01:14:00.000+03:002009-05-12T01:14:00.000+03:00Dear readers,

It's all serendipitous if it's anything at all.<br /><br />As you and other readers of Hobson-Jobson must know, Serendîb is the early medieval Arabic form of the name of Ceylon.
