power

In 1992 Schweitzer came across the Mongolist of the 18th century, Johann Jahresig . He began research, corresponded with scholars in the United States and Russia . Schweitzer reconstructed Jahresig's curriculum vitae and found that Jahrig is one of the fathers of Tibetology . The manuscript “The Beginnings of Tibetan Writing and Language Teaching”, written in 1792 , was only discovered in 2009 by the journalist Alexandre Sladkevich, who ran the small publisher edition zinkund with Schweitzer , in a Russian archive. This confirms Schweitzer's thesis from his book "Johann Jahresig und seine Zeit - Ein Büdinger researches with the Mongols" that Jahresig wrote a Tibetan grammar 42 years before Sándor Csoma .
