 The author is well versed in many languages of both East and West and has a wide knowledge of Buddhism as well as of Indology. With his extensive learning in these fields and his language expertise, he has pursued comprehensive studies of the original literature and translations and has written many articles and reviews. This book was originally a series of lectures delivered on several occasions. It contains the indispensable minimum information concerning the history of Buddhist studies in Europe and the United States and presents readers with a survey that ranges from 300 B.C. up to modern times. A Brief History of Buddhist Studies in Europe and America is an essential reference work for students of Buddhism beyond the university undergraduate level. The extensive and detailed bibliography at the end of the book is especially useful. Two indexes--one of the names of scholars and the other of titles of texts--are also provided. J. W. DE JONG, a renowned scholar of Buddhist and Indian studies, is a professor emeritus at The Australian National University. He is highly regarded the world over for his reviews of the academic works of scholars of Buddhism and Indology. 183pp. 15.1cm. x 22.7 cm. Bibliography. Indexes. (softcover) | ||
