This specific book, a piece of historical literature on the subject of Siberian Buddhism, once resided in the prestigious library of language scholar Johannes Rahder (1898-1988), a Dutch Orientalist, and professor of Japanese at the University of Leiden (1931-1946), and Yale University (1947-1965). He was depicted by the legendary Langston Hughes in his work 'I Wonder, I Wander', and called a "...famous authority on obscure Oriental languages", after a brief meeting between the two figures on the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1933. Some of his red pen markings and blue-inked Yale University faculty stamp can be found throughout this folio. FORN-SHELF-751-1023-eb0461
