Matthias Hermanns
P. Matthias Hermanns (1899-1972) was a missionary of the SVD and a German Tibetologist.〔D. Schröder D., ‘P. Matthias Hermanns SVD (1899-1972),’ in ''Anthropos'', vol. 67, n° 1-2, 1972, pp. 1-8.〕
== Biography ==
Father Matthias Hermanns was a member of the Society of the Divine Word (''Societas Verbi Divini'' or ''SVD''), a German-Dutch Catholic congregation which managed to send some 90 missionaries into the Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang provinces of north-west China between 1922 and 1953, where they established some thirty missions.〔Bianca Horlemann, ‘The Divine Word Missionaries in Gansu, Qinghai and Xinjiang, 1922–1953: A Bibliographic Note,’ in ''Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain & Ireland'' (Third Series) (2009), 19, pp. 59-82.〕 Together with Dominik Schröder and Johan Frick, he was one of the SVD missionaries who took a lively interest in ethnology, an activity which was supported by the congregation.〔Bianca Horlemann, op. cit.〕
The principal area of his research was the Kokonor area of the Amdo (as Tibetans call it) region, the present-day Chinese province of Qinghai, and in particular the nomadic herders. Part of his work involved supplying them with medical care. This subsidiary role gave him an excellent opportunity to study both the social position of Tibetan women and acquaint himself with the intimate side of their lives.〔Matthias Hermanns, ‘The Status of Woman in Tibet, in ''Anthropological Quarterly'', vol. 26, No. 3, July 1953, p. 67.〕
Towards the end of the 1930s, around the time the future 14th Dalai Lama was found, Hermanns had the opportunity to meet him, still a child, since he knew the family well. According to Hermanns, the child did not know Tibetan at that time. On being asked his name, he replied in a Chinese dialect that he was called « Chi », the local Chinese name of the village of Taktser).〔P. Matthias Hermanns, ''Mythen und Mysterie. Mage und Religion der Tibeter,'' Cologne, 1956, p. 319.〕
