Abstract:
Introduction:The National Library of Mongolia was established in 1921 based largely on the 8th Khalkha Jebtsundamba Library. In studying the tradition of collecting and preserving books in Mongolia, the subject can be divided into three categories:
1. Family collection
2. Palace/ Royal collections
3. Monastery collections.
From the collection mentioned above, we selected a work belonging to the royal collections, specifically
one transferred from the VIII Khalkha Jebtsundamba’s Library to the National Library. This book, “The
drug actions that are useful for any kind of ulcer, swelling, and injuries,” is a rare and valuable item
of medical cultural heritage, existing in a single known copy. Therefore, this work was selected for
incorporation into the research cycle.
To identify the formulas, forms of medicines, methods of use, actions, and to abstain from diet methods
