- Abstract
Among the Harvard-Yenching Library's collection of 598 Tomba manuscripts to the Tomba beliefs, 510 were originally acquired by Joseph Francis Charles Rock (1884-1962) in Yunnan, China. The institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the institute of Tomba Culture at the Yunnan Academy of Social Sciences and the Harvard-Yenching Institute are translating it. In Rock's works dated half a century ago, there are many references to these Tomba manuscripts in the Harvard-Yenching Library. Rock's works are extremely valuable for translating these Tomba hieroglyphs today.
