The Kingdom of Sumpa in the Light of Tibetan Sources.
Aguas Maisels, Bruno ; Berounský, Daniel (advisor) ; Hrubý, Jakub (referee)
This thesis is concerned with the term Sumpa in all its connotations, as a name of the tribe, clan name, and name of the area inhabited by them. Sumpa is portrayed as a confederation of nomadic tribes that inhabited the areas in present-day northeastern Tibet from early historical times to the seventh century when their territory was annexed by the rising Tibetan Empire and they were assimilated. The thesis is divided into two parts. The first part aims to present a brief overview of the history of these people, their origin, defeat, and assimilation, as well as the possible extent of their territory and traces they left in the area. In the second part, the English translation of the relevant section from a Tibetan work named The Great History of Domé, Domé logyü chenmo (mDo smad lo rgyus chen mo), along with its transcription in the appendix, will be presented.
