enduringge evanggelium Marha-i ulaha songqui (Gospel According to St. Mark -- Manchu)

Book cover
A pdf scan of the original Manchu copy of the Holy Gospel according to St Mark [enduringge evanggelium Marha-i ulaha songqui] located at the state library in Irkustk diocese has been contributed by Fr Dionisy Pozdnyaev and converted into jpeg format.

Note that in the pdf scan, the extra page that is at the head of the pdf file is p.39 (right leaf) and so belongs between p.79 and p.80 of the pdf. The Manchu New Testament was published in brief portions from 1822 and as a complete book from 1835 and again in Shanghai in 1929. Two copies of this work are kept in the Library of Congress (B-a18, B-a19) as well as six copies of the 1835 edition (B-a12 to B-a17).

The pdf also does not contain any publication date. Most Manchu, Mongolian and Chinese works place the date of publication on the very last pages before the end cover. The page numbers run sequentially from 1 to 39, but numbered in the Manchu style where a page is taken to mean two open pages thus every page has a left and a right leaf. The manuscript is textually complete as the last word on the last page (39/80) is 'ameng', but a small tear appears at the bottom-right of p.39/80 which suggests that the back cover is missing. This may be an original 1822 serial or a later offprint of one gospel from the complete NT that appeared in 1835.
