1) Popolare: "Some of these documents were meant for worship, others are taken from popular art, others are diagrams, yantras and charts reproducing, at least partially, the schemes of the mystic physiology adopted by the yogins." | Tradizionale: "a material which reproduces examples of all kinds of art inspired by Tantra in particular, but also by the common religious background of Indian traditions and practices." | Orientale: "The treatment of the Tantra which precedes and introduces the plates is based upon the views accepted by certain modern commentators and expounders, both eastern and western, though reference is occasionally made to the original sources." | "A. Guibaut, G. Olivier, Anthropologie des Tibétains orientaux. (Paris, École Française d'Extrême Orient, 1965, 164 pp., XIII pls.)."
