Summary:

The library in Budapest possesses some 320 Mongol and some 30 Manchu manuscripts and blockprints. Kara was one of three Hungarian orientalists sent to Mongolia in 1957 for three months to acquire additional Mongol and Tibetan articles for the collections. He has worked on the catalogue for over 12 years, carrying the manuscript around the world as he changed positions. He takes about a page to describe each piece. A dozen monochrome plates illustrate some pages and covers. Indices are by theme; Mongol, Manchu, Sanskrit/Pali and Tibetan, and Chinese titles; names; Chinese marginal marks, and titles in general.
