Special Papers, Issue 15, Peter Michalove, A Guide to Reading Mongolian Texts in the ’Phags-pa Script
In this little guide, Dr. Michalove introduces the ’Phags-pa Lama’s so-called “Square Script” in a way that makes it easier for someone who already knows Classical Mongolian to master this Tibetan-based alphabet. It can be used independently or in conjunction with Poppe and Krueger’s 1957 guide to the ’Phags-pa script. Dr. Michalove has reprinted several ’Phags-pa script texts in a large and readable font and added supplementary information on the characters and their use, an updated bibliography, as well as a glossary of words and grammatical forms. 31 pages.
