Description du livre Hardbound. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. Tabo, located on the left bank of the Spiti River in Himal Pradesh, is historically important primarily as a centre of Indo-Tibetan Buddhism. A single temple founded there in 996 CE subsequently grew into a complex of nine buildings, a magnificent legacy of Mahayana Buddhism in the Western Himalayas. In this multidisciplinary study covering a period of a thousand years, the author traces the evolution of Buddhism against the background of the economy and culture of the region. He examines the various components of the monastery and delineates the architectural and aesthetic styles of Tabo, including sculpture, painting and epigraphy. Essential reading for all those interested in Himalayan archaeology, art and architecture, pre-Buddhist and Buddhist religious traditions, and Tibet.
