Manual for cataloging the gdams ngag mdzod
Instructions for Tibetan person name in Tibetan script:
Paste this template into the Tibetan language author page: {{བོད་མི་|WYLIEHERE}}
If there is no author page associated with the Wylie for this Tibetan's name, create it using the Tibetan author stub.
If there is an author page associated with the Wylie for this Tibetan's name, you will see a red link at the bottom of the page when you first save it. To fix this, go to the Wylie page (the main page for that author, linked at the top of the Tibetan language author page) and place <noinclude></noinclude> around the template at the bottom of the page. This template will look like this: {{DRL Tibetan Authors | {{PAGENAME}}}} and needs to look like this <noinclude>{{DRL Tibetan Authors | {{PAGENAME}}}}</noinclude> .
Directions for cataloging the gdams ngag mdzod:
We will catalog the Shechen edition of the gdams ngag mdzod by creating a page for each text in the list here using the Tibetan Text Cataloging stub, thus populating this category: Gdams ngag mdzod Catalog. For these directions I have cataloged the first text of the Shechen edition of the gdams ngag mdzod, Wylie:Sgyu 'phrul drwa ba'i lam rnam par bshad pa chung ngu, which can be used as a template for the rest of the cataloging work.
Directions:
From the outline page, link the next Tibetan title and save the page. Open the new red link in a new tab and paste the stub into it. At first it will probably be easier to enter the Cataloging data first, then add the rest of the information in the page. As you go you will find the fastest way on your own. Using the PDFs for the gdams ngag mdzod, catalog each text.
Example: the first full text listed in the TBRC Outline of the gdams ngag mdzod is listed online as sgyu 'phrul drwa ba'i lam rnam par bshad pa chung ngu. The actual title page of the Shechen edition has three lines of text, one in Lantsa, one in Sanskrit transliterated into Tibetan script and one standard Tibetan title in dbu chen script:

Here are the other images you would need to complete such an example text:
File:Page 3 from first text of gdams ngag mdzod Volume 1.jpg
This one tells us what is on side A of most of the pecha pages.
File:Page 4 from first text of the gdams ngag mdzod Volume 1.jpg
This one tells us what is on side B of most of the pecha pages as well as the normal number of lines per page (7).
File:Last page from first text of the gdams ngag mdzod Volume 1.jpg
This is the last page and provides us with the information for finishing page and line and also contains a little colophon which we type in and from which we get author information.
Description of each entry:
Title Page: This is the title given on the actual "Title page" for the text, if there is no real separate title page, write "No title page." If there is a title page, you will describe it line by line. Write out the Wylie for the Tibetan and Sanskrit titles using extended Wylie transliteration (A useful tool for this). For Lantsa, simply write, "Lantsa title".
Left side print: - This is for whatever is printed vertically on the left side of the pecha page. Type whatever appears here, if in Tibetan, type Wylie, if blank, type "blank".
Right side print: - This is for whatever is printed vertically on the right side of the pecha page. Type whatever appears here, if in Tibetan, type Wylie, if blank, type "blank".
First Page Title(s): This is for the title that may appear on the first full page of text (i.e., the actual beginning of the text). If there is no other title given in this area, simply write: "No title". If there is a title, give it in Tibetan and Wylie.
Description of pages: This area is for a general description of what appears on most pages after the title page, which is always unique (often the first pecha page has less lines than all the rest).
- Side A: This is for the first side of a pecha page. The title page is 1a, the start of the text is 1b, etc.
- Left: This is the Wylie of whatever is written on the left side of side A. In the example we have the Wylie written with "tibfolio#" entered where the Tibetan number appears. This stands for the "Tibetan folio number".
- Right: note the use of # to indicate a Hindu-Arabic numeral as opposed to the tibfolio#
- Side B:
- Left: This is the Wylie of whatever is written on the left side of side B
- Right: note the use of # to indicate a Hindu-Arabic numeral as opposed to the tibfolio#
Volume #: 001 (ka) This is the volume # for the edition given in numerals and in Tibetan.
Text # in volume: Begin with two zeros before the number. 001. 010. This is for the number in the present volume the text appears in for the Shechen Edition. This number may be 04, but the 054th text in the whole edition.
Text # in edition: Start with three zeros before the number. 1 = 0001, 10 = 0010, 100 = 0100, 999 = 0999 This is for the number of the text in the whole Shechen edition.
Master text #: Start with three zeros before the number. 1 = 0001, 10 = 0010, 100 = 0100, 999 = 0999 This number will correlate with this specific text and will be matched with any edition. So if there are some texts missing from one edition that appear in another, they will be tallied as well so that the last "Master Text Number" accounts for all possible texts in the gdams ngag mdzod.
Begin-End Pages (Western): Simply put the numbers of the pages where the text begins and ends.
Begin Tibetan page and line #: 1b1 . The first number is the pecha page number, the letter is the side of the folio and the last number is the line number (usually 1-7). End Tibetan page and line #: 8a6 . The first number is the pecha page number, the letter is the side of the folio and the last number is the line number (usually 1-7).
Total # of pages (Western): The number of pages counts each side as 1.
Total # of pages (Tibetan): This is what the Tibetan says, almost always one half of the above "Western" number.
Number of lines per page: Usually printed at 7 lines per page, with the title page having 3 and the first two actual pages of the text having 5 lines each. Usually you will be able to simply copy this example: 7 (2 pages of 5, 1 page of 3)
Partial colophon in Wylie: Type out the ending colophon on the last page of the text here in Wylie. Look for the title to be repeated, which usually indicates the end of the text and the colophon. Sometimes the colophon will appear after this title, sometimes a little before. Or sometimes there will only be the title and nothing else.
Author: [[ ]] - give the author in Wylie as it is given in the text. Do not include the agentive particle or other indicators or verbs, just the name will do. If no author is listed simply write: none given.
Translator: [[ ]] - give the Translator(s) in Wylie as they are given in the text. Simply put a comma and add more names as necessary. Do not include the agentive particle or other indicators or verbs, just the name will do. If no translator is listed simply write: none given.
Scribe: [[ ]] - give the scribe(s) names(s) in Wylie as they are given in the text. Do not include the agentive particle or other indicators or verbs, just the name will do. If no scribe is listed simply write: none given.
