Der aus Wien stammende Joseph Franz Rock (18841962) ist als Botaniker und als Ethnograph der in Suedwestchina lebenden Nakhi (Naxi), einer nichtchinesischen, einem Schamanenkult anhangenden und tausende von Manuskripten in ihrer eigenen Bilderschrift besitzenden Ethnie, hervorgetreten. Neben zehntausenden von botanischen Belegen (darunter ein groaer Teil der heute kultivierten RhododendronArten) und etwa 2000 Vogelbalgen hat Rock zehntausend NahsiManuskripte gesammelt, das erste Worterbuch verfaat und eine Anzahl der Rituale uebersetzt. Inzwischen ist Rocks ehemaliges Wohnhaus in Lijiang (Yuennan) Museum, und sein Hauptwerk ueber die Nakhi ist ins Chinesische uebersetzt. Rocks vielseitige Tatigkeit wird im vorliegenden Band von mehreren Seiten beleuchtet: Die Zeitungsberichte zeigen ihn im Umgang mit den Medien und die Rezeption seines Werkes in den USA, der Briefwechsel mit den ostasienwissenschaftlichen Gelehrten an der University of Washington erlautert die Genese des NahsiWorterbuchs und seine Forderung der tibetischen Sammlungen, wahrend die Korrespondenz mit C. S. Sargent (Arnold Arboretum) Licht auf die Expedition zum Amnye Machen Bergmassiv wirft. Der Briefwechsel mit dem Leipziger Tibetologen Johannes Schubert liefert den Hintergrund zu Rocks zunehmenden tibetologischen Studien, wahrend die Briefe an seinen Neffen Robert Koc die Personlichkeit des Forschers in den Mittelpunkt stellen und seine Anhanglichkeit an die alte Heimat dokumentieren. Besondere Bedeutung hat das von Rock selbst noch ueberarbeitete Tagebuch der Reise 19211923 von Chiengmai (Thailand) nach Lijiang, wobei er teils der Route von Major H. R. Davies folgte, so daa die Berichte sich gewissermaaen erganzen. Der Band liefert umfangreiches Material zum Verstandnis eines bedeutenden Wissenschaftlers und seines Werks. Mit mehreren Registern.
