English summary: This Festschrift contains thirty-three articles from an international group of colleagues and associates of Professor Per K. Sorensen, one of the leading figures in Tibetan studies, who taught for twenty years as a professor in the Institute for Indology and Central Asian Studies at the University of Leipzig. The thematic variety of the studies related to Tibet and the Himalaya region reflect the broad interests of Prof. Sorenson; at the same time, the articles in this anthology address a number of questions that are representative of the current state of research into the history, religion, ethnology, literature, archeology, and art of Tibet. This celebratory volume also includes numerous illustrations as well as an extensive introduction dedicated to the scholarship, research, and teaching of the honoree.
