This talk will focus on a recently documented massive compilation manuscript with 427 folios, a donor chronicle and 135 lluminations. The texts included are quite varied, from dh?ra?? compiled by Büton Rinchen Drub to the prayers of Milarepa; from Vajr?sana’s 85 Mah?siddha text to a veterinarian text attributed to Sakyapa Drakpa Gyaltsan. After a general introduction to the manuscript as a whole, its patronage and a few of its visual highlights—including some portraiture—the talk will focus on its depictions of Mah?siddhas in relation to other painted and sculpted depictions of Mah?siddhas in Zangskar, including a recently documented cache of paintings by Zhedpa Dorje, the eighteenth-century Yogi-painter of Dzongkhul.
