metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The authors of this article present a summary of the unpublished catalogue of Oirat manuscripts
  and xylographs preserved at the Cabinet for Collecting, Cataloguing and Publishing
  Old Books of Ethnic Minorities, the National Affairs Committee of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous
  Region (Ürümqi), compiled by the keeper of the collection Do. Galdan. The fund
  contains around 400 books that have been collected among the Mongolian population of the
  Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region since 1984. The Catalogue compiled by Do. Galdan
  is a list of 397 entries structured according to the order of shelfmarks: the items are neither
  classified by topic nor indexed, which does not allow to search for a particular text inside the
  collection. Therefore, classifying and grouping the items is the principal task pursued in this
  article. Its main focus is a thematic index to the upcoming catalogue. The index is preceded by
  commentary that introduces the classification of texts and notes the highlights of the collection.
  The texts were classified based on their titles and the descriptions of their content provided
  by Do. Galdan in his draft catalogue. The overall number of surviving Oirat manuscripts
  is limited, and the value of the materials preserved in Ürümqi is beyond dispute. What makes
  this collection exceptional is its local and popular character which reflects the tradition of
  text-related practices spread among the Oirat population of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous
  Region in the 20th century.
