HISTORIOGRAPHY, SOURCE STUDIES

T. D. Skrynnikova. Titles of imperious elite of Mongolia in the chronicle of the 19th century — 29
The article contains the analysis of titles of the main groups, which were carrying out imperious and administrative functions in the 17th century, identification of hierarchy of their statuses. It also carries out the comparativehistorical analysis of a titulatura for the purpose of identification of change of values of terms to the middle of the 19th century when the chronicle Erdeni-yin erikhe was written. The analysis of original texts showed that the main changes found reflection in ideas of the higher authority in Mongolia, first of all in a titulatura of the Supreme governor. If in chronicles of the 17th century the exclusive power allocated Chinggis-khan and the Mongolian governors — his descendants, in Erdeni-yin erikhe cronicle only the Manchu emperor, the charisma carrier, was allocated with the titles marking the Supreme power, i. e. titles act as concepts. Ideas of hierarchy of imperious persons in Halkha (the khan, jinong, noyan, taiji) remained practically without changes.

N. V. Yampolskaya. The Phrase debisker-tür baγulγabai in Mongolian Colophons — 51
A number of colophons of Buddhist sutras translated from Tibetan into Mongolian contain the phrase debisker-tür baγulγabai (lit. “put down on a mat”). This Mongolian phrase renders the Tibetan expression gtan la phab — a cliché used in colophons of Buddhist texts translated from Sanskrit to designate the accomplishment of the translator’s or editor’s work. The unusual Mongolian translation of this term is probably based on a simple mistake that comes from the visual similarity of the Tibetan words gtan (“completely”) and gdan (“mat, cushion”). The occurrence of the phrase debisker-tür baγulγabai in Mongolian translations of Tibetan colophons reflects a certain trend in the practice of the Mongolian translators of the 17th—18th centuries — the tendency to follow the Tibetan text word by word.
Key words: Tibetan colophon, Mongolian colophon, mistake of translation, Mongolian manuscripts

ART STUDIES

K. Batyreva, S. Batyreva. Cultural heritage and tourism: felting in contemporary artistic practice of Kalmykia — 56
In the conditions of expanding ethno-cultural interaction in the world community, the role and importance of cultural heritage naturally grows. Tendencies of globalization of culture are opposed by a massive interest in its ethnic artistic expression, art. Different ways of embodying the ethnic origin at different stages of the cultural development of mankind make it possible to distinguish among ethnic functions of art the ethnic functions properly. An interesting material in this respect is provided by the legacy of the nomadic culture of Kalmykia. Authentic culture of traditional society is in demand today, namely in the modern tourism industry.
Key words: cultural heritage, tourism, folk crafts, felting, felting, artistic processing, traditions
