The paper offers an analysis and a classification of lexicographic works on Tibetan medicine compiled by Mongolian and Buryat authors in the 18-20th centuries. The analysis of main topics of these works and of their terminology allow us to distinguish three types of dictionaries: (1) specialized mngon brjod dictionaries of synonyms of Tibetan materia medica compiled for their correct identification; (2) bilingual and monolingual bsdus ming glossaries that contain explanations of words and concepts of the rgyud bzhi and commentaries; and (3) general and terminological brda yig dictionaries with medical lexicons. Particular attention is paid to distinctive features of these dictionaries. The study reveals that words in all thesauruses compiled by Mongolian authors and in the terminological dictionary dag yig mkhas pa’i ‘byung gnas (18th century) are arranged by thematic groups. The words in all bsdus ming glossaries are limited to the lexis used in one particular treatise and arranged...

In the article author attempts to analyze the historical short stories of the outstanding Mongolian scientist and writer Byambyn Rinchen from the point of view of architectonics (external composition) and revealing the ways of expressing the author’s position. On the example of the short stories “Courageous Anu”, “Fatal Letter”, “Hand of the Goddess”, “The Bunia Flyer” it was revealed that they are characterized by freedom of composition, which is combined with a certain subjectivity and dynamism of switching from one stylistic register to another. The final parts of the short stories can be called “epilogues” or “colophons” and commentaries, which is quite consistent with the stylistic traditions of medieval Mongolian literature, but in the XX century they acquire a new, “living” breath.
