The tireless explorer of the Himalayas and the Land of Snows made 14 expeditions to different regions of Tibet and Nepal, during which priceless collections of ancient manuscripts and monuments of art were collected, and for the first time new routes were laid along the previously unknown to Europeans high-mountain paths of the Roof of the World. D. Tucci is the author of fundamental works devoted to Indian and Tibetan religion, philosophy, culture and art. Books such as “Tibetan Manuscript Scrolls”, “Theory and Practice of Mandalas”, “History of Indian Philosophy” have become generally recognized classics of world oriental thought.
