Abstract

A new book by Kristina Teleki, entitled Introduction to the Study of Urga’s Heritage, was published in 2015. Actually, we should not speak of an introduction; because in fact it is an exhaustive account, a very detailed and solid treatise about the treasures hidden in the Mongolian capital. The book represents an essential handbook for every historian interested in either religious history or the political or general history of Mongolia. We have long waited for this type of book, and thanks to the meticulous work of the author, we now have the opportunity to enjoy it.

Abstract (in Czech)

Nová kniha maďarské badatelky Kristiny Teleki, nazvaná Introduction to the Study of Urga’s Heritage, vyšla v roce 2015. Nejedná se ale o úvod do problematiky, jako spíše o rozsáhlou a podrobnou publikaci zahrnující náboženské a kulturní památky hlavného města Mongolska, tak jak se v historii utvářely.
