Manshuud Emegeev (1849-1909), frequently dubbed "the Homer of the Buryats",[1] is the first known reciter of Gesar whose performances were transcribed.
He recited "two very different tripartite Geser-cycles that were preserved on paper for posterity", firstly in 1900 by Jeremiah Curtin and published in English in 1909,[2] and in 1906 by Jamsrangiin Tseveen,[3] published in 1930.[4]
He appears in Curtin's work as 'Manshut', with a photograph of him seated.
The later publication by Jamsrangiin Tseveen in Russian has been regarded as 'an act of resistance using "modern" tools to preserve the Buryat culture.[5]
The collection of materials made by Tseveen, including other texts, are held in St. Petersburg.[6] A brief biography appeared in 1993,[7] and he is commemorated by a statue.[8]
