About the Book

English summary: Joseph Franz Rock (1884-1962), born in Vienna and later a resident of Hawaii, was well known as a botanist, geographer, philologist and linguist. From 1922 to 1949 he lived in China, where he studied the language and culture of the Na-khi, a people living in Yunnan between the Han Chinese and the Tibetans. Through his research, he became acquainted with the Tibetologist and Mongolist Johannes Schubert (1896-1976), librarian at the University of Leipzig and later professor at the Eastern Asian Institute of the same university. They corresponded quite extensively for over a quarter of a century. Schubert's estate included almost all of Rock's letters to Schubert, as well as a number of copies of his own letters to Rock. Rock's letters give a vivid picture of his long stay among the Na-khi people, of his scientific research, and-following his flight from China in 1949-of his restless later life and his travels in Asia, America and Europe. A lot too can be learned about Schubert's research from his letters, but also about the often adverse conditions for his Tibetological work, which as a librarian at the University of Leipzig he was for the most part only able to do in his leisure time, and later-in the GDR-under circumstances that were not always conducive to scientific research. The edition also contains a comprehensive bibliography and an index of the persons mentioned in the letters. German description: Joseph Franz Rock (1884-1962), in Wien geburtig, spater in Hawaii ansassig, hat sich als Botaniker, Geograf, Philologe und Linguist Verdienste erworben; von 1922 bis 1949 hielt er sich in China auf, wo er sich vorwiegend mit der Sprache und Kultur der Na-khi (Naxi) befasste, die in Yunnan zwischen Han-Chinesen und Tibetern leben. Dies war der Anlass fur die Bekanntschaft mit dem Leipziger Tibetologen und Mongolisten Johannes Schubert (1896-1976), der erst als Bibliothekar an der Universitatsbibliothek, nach 1952 als Professor und Ordinarius am Ostasiatischen Institut der Universitat Leipzig wirkte. Uber ein Viertel Jahrhundert hatten beide einen relativ regen Briefwechsel. Fast samtliche Schreiben Rocks an Schubert fanden sich in Schuberts Nachlass, und dabei die Durchschlage eines grossen Teils der Briefe Schuberts an Rock. Dieser Briefwechsel wird, mit ausfuhrlichen Kommentaren, vorgestellt. Die Briefe von Rock geben ein anschauliches Bild von seinem vieljahrigen Aufenthalt bei den Na-khi, von seinen wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen und - nach seiner Flucht aus China 1949 - von seinem unsteten Leben, seinen Reisen in Asien, Amerika und Europa. In den Briefen Schuberts erfahren wir naturlich auch vieles uber seine Arbeiten, aber daneben auch uber die oft recht ungunstigen ausseren Bedingungen seiner tibetologischen Forschungen, die er zunachst, als Bibliothekar an der Universitatsbibliothek Leipzig, im wesentlichen nur in seiner Freizeit und spater unter den der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit nicht immer forderlichen Gegebenheiten der ehemaligen DDR durchfuhren konnte. Ausser einem umfassenden Literaturverzeichnis ist ein Register samtlicher in den Briefen genannten Personen angefugt.
