In the beginning of the 18th century, the great French Jesuits in the Peking
of the Emperor Kang Hi, completed their renowned map of China. A copy of it
reached d'Anville at Paris. On this map Tibet is represented in accordance with the
provisional survey carried out, at the command of the Emperor, by specially instructed
Lamas. They commit the error of letting the Ganges take its origin from lake
Manasarovar. D'Anville caused both the upper Indus and Satlej to be included in
the river-system of the Ganges. Otherwise, the powers of observation of the La-
maistic cartographers were extraordinarily accurate, and the sketch of the basin of
the sources of the Satlej and the Ganges which they presented to d'Anville, is
admirable. Their achievments surpass all that could be produced by European
geographers 170 years later.
In connection with the reliable description of the sacred lake and its sur-
roundings, which was thus obtained by Lamaistic research, the results of the jour-
ney which was begun in the year 1715 by the Jesuit Father Desideri, are of ex-
ceedingly great interest. I am endeavouring to prove that his lake Retoâ can be
no other than Manasarovar. He is the first European to have visited and described
this lake, and he is the discoverer of Kailas. He is one of the most remarkable
travellers having ever journeyed through the land of Dalai Lama.
Pater Tieffenthaler is another Jesuit whose merit however less consists in his
own observations, than in his collecting of geographical material. In the year 1784,
his maps were published by Anquetil du Perron, who discusses them with great
learning. From the narratives of Indian pilgrims, the Father had got the impression
that Manasarovar gave rise to the Brahmaputra. The statement that the Satlej had
its source from this lake, was, on the other hand, quite correct. Anquetil du Perron
committed the great mistake of relying more on Tieffenthaler than on d'Anville,
though the latter built on better material than did the former.
Vol. II of my work forms the immediate continuation of Vol. I and, like this
