Ŷ SUMMARY Ŷ sity collection is the 1478 edition of the famous historical work rGyal rabs gsal ba’i me long . A number of Collected Works ( gsung-’bum ) form a large part of the Ti- betan collection. These are works by the Dalai Lama VII Kelsang Gyatso, Jangkya Khutugtu Rolbi Dorje, Akya Khutugtu, Galdan Shiretu Khutugtu, Janglung Pandita Khutugtu and some others. A set of the Narthang edition of the Tengyur was also purchased by Vassiliev. In the second half of the nineteenth century — early twentieth century the Uni- versity Tibetan collection was further enlarged by a number of Tibetan books printed by the Buriat lamas in the monastic printing houses which were expanding at that time. Also, some Buriat lama-writers, like Danjin Zarbain, donated their works to the University. The St. Petersburg University Library possesses a large number of Tibetan-Mon- golian dictionaries printed in Beijing and Buriat datsans. A number of texts printed or written in both Tibetan and Mongolian are also found in the collection.
