It is named after the lineage of Bönpo priests in whose house it is kept. The collection, consisting of 340 different items with a total of 3,477 folios, cards, or individual sheets of paper, represents the ritual repertoire of the priests of the kings of Mustang, once a Tibetan kingdom and now a district of Nepal. The manuscripts exemplify the variety of forms, scripts, decorations, materials and other codicological features. The texts have not been used since the priestly line ended in the 1950s or 60s. The value of this collection is twofold: first, the collection was assembled from different parts of Tibet and the Himalaya over six centuries, and offers a rich body of material which can be retrieved by material and codicological analyses that will contribute to our understanding of book and paper making traditions in the region, as well as social aspects of Tibetan manuscript production; and secondly, in terms of its content, it offers a window onto the nature of royal religion in a Tibetan kingdom. These manuscripts were used in rituals for the protection and prosperity of the kingdom of Mustang, its subjects and members of royal lineage; knowledge of the materials and ritual practices involved in the creation of physical objects will help to understand the interaction between religion, patronage and political authority in Tibetan society.DATASET FILESThe dataset contains files:• Drangsong_214.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_214.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_214_ornamentation.pdf (PDF file containing description of the ornamentation),• Drangsong_214_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_214_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_214_macros.zip (in close-up samples),• Drangsong_214_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.</p

Research data for the systematic literature review of the causes and conditions of the constitutional crisis in Poland
No full textThe objective of the review was to analyse how academic discourse understands the causes and conditions of the Polish constitutional crisis. The review was conducted with a method of systematic literature review, and its full results can be found in the review report (Wyjaśnianie polskiego kryzysu konstytucyjnego. Raport z systematycznej analizy piśmiennictwa, https://open.icm.edu.pl/handle/123456789/23944).The literature review was conducted as a part of the research project PRACTIS (Power, Reflexivity And ConsTitutional crisIS). The general aim of the project is to propose a new theoretical model for constitutional practice, defined as reflexive constitutionalism. The point of reference for the research is provided by the recent Polish constitutional crisis. We assume that the Polish crisis, as a local yet representative variant of wider tendencies, offers a vantage point to analyse global crisis phenomena in the legitimacy of democratic power, the rule of law standards and constitutional practices of liberal democracy.</p

The features such as bookbinding style, format and layout of manuscripts, as well as the type of paper illustrated with close-up and microscopic images, were taken by Agnieszka Helman-Ważny. The illustrations were described by Nils Martin, and the photographic documentation taken in situ was done by Thomas Schrom and Rinchen Loden Lama. Detailed studies and laboratory analyses of paper samples were carried out by Agnieszka Helman-Wazny in collaboration with the Interdisciplinary Laboratory of Archaeometric Research at the University of Warsaw (Barbara Wagner, Agata Szubartowska, Alicja Święcicka, and Bartłomiej Witkowski) and Warsaw University of Technology (Grażyna Zofia Żukowska), using integrated methods such as microscopic fibre analysis, Reflectance Transformation Imaging/Polynomial Texture Maps (RTI / PTM), and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). The C14 analyses were performed at the Poznań Radiocarbon Lab (Tomasz Goslar).PROJECT DETAILSThe Project No. UMO-2018/30/M/HS3/00372 funded by The National Science Centre, Poland, in the framework of the HARMONIA 10 program, hosted by the Faculty of Journalism, Information and Bibliology, Department of Books, and Media History, University of Warsaw, Poland in a partnership with the École Pratique des Hautes Études and the Centre de recherche sur les civilisations de l'Asie orientale (CRCAO), Paris.Title: Protecting the Kingdom with Tibetan Manuscripts: codicological and historical analysis of the royal Drangsong collection from Mustang, Nepal.Project PI: Agnieszka Helman-Ważny hagniwaz@gmail.comProject co PI: Charles RambleThe aim of this project was to carry out a codicological and text-historical study of a unique collection of manuscripts, named Drangsong, belonging to the Bön religion of Tibet. It is named after the lineage of Bönpo priests in whose house it is kept. The collection, consisting of 340 different items with a total of 3,477 folios, cards, or individual sheets of paper, represents the ritual repertoire of the priests of the kings of Mustang, once a Tibetan kingdom and now a district of Nepal. The manuscripts exemplify the variety of forms, scripts, decorations, materials and other codicological features. The texts have not been used since the priestly line ended in the 1950s or 60s. The value of this collection is twofold: first, the collection was assembled from different parts of Tibet and the Himalaya over six centuries, and offers a rich body of material which can be retrieved by material and codicological analyses that will contribute to our understanding of book and paper making traditions in the region, as well as social aspects of Tibetan manuscript production; and secondly, in terms of its content, it offers a window onto the nature of royal religion in a Tibetan kingdom. These manuscripts were used in rituals for the protection and prosperity of the kingdom of Mustang, its subjects and members of royal lineage; knowledge of the materials and ritual practices involved in the creation of physical objects will help to understand the interaction between religion, patronage and political authority in Tibetan society.DATASET FILESThe dataset contains files:• Drangsong_174.zip (master scans of the manuscript pages with color checker),• Drangsong_174.pdf (containing presentation images of the manuscript pages),• Drangsong_174_001v.png (manuscript page sample),• Drangsong_174_backlites.zip (backlit samples),• Drangsong_174_XRF_analysis.png (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry).DESCRIPTION OF THE MANUSCRIPTDetailed information on writing, materials, format, and layout is provided in a Readme.txt file attached to this dataset.</p
International agreements ratified by the Polish communist state that support gender binary equality
No full textThe research dataset includes quotations of selected laws – all proclaimed by the communist authorities ruling Poland in 1944–1989. The role of the quotations is to confirm Poland’s ratification of international agreements, as well as to show the main issues and/or terms included in the particular laws in the context of supporting gender binary equality. During my query, I used the Online Legal Database (ISAP), which stores scans of laws issued during the communist period.</p
