A mandsuk szertartásos könyve

In 1875, Gábor Bálint read his dissertation on the ceremonial book of the Mandsuk at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In it, he discusses the characteristics of the shamanic religion. This was the first treatise on the subject in the European literature. The book was compiled in the 18th century on the order of the Chinese emperor based on oral tradition and the narratives of the Manchu clan chiefs. In the original manuscript book, you can find the ceremonies associated with the seasons, the various ritual songs and prayers, the vessels used in the ceremonies, the drawings of the ritual tools, etc. Gábor Bálint summarizes the work as follows: "The law book of the Mandsuk, edited according to the main command of worship and sacrifice.& #34; - The book can be said to be interesting because it contains the rites of a religion which, in all probability, can be attributed to the common ancient religion of the peoples of the Kingdom, and thus of our race.
