BUDDHISM AND LANGUAGE: A Study of Indo-Tibetan Scholasticism
by Jose Cabezon
Explores how Indo-Tibetan Buddhist philosophical speculation exemplifies the character of scholasticism. Investigates Buddhist scholastic theory and use of scripture, the nature of doctrine and its transcendence in experience, Mahayana Buddhist hermeneutics, the theory and practice of exegesis, and questions concerning the authority of sacred texts. The Buddhist scholastic theory of conceptual thought as the mirror of language and the role of language in idealist and nominalist Mahayana ontologies are also discussed.

Grammar of the Tibetan Language
by Alexander Csoma De Koros
"Insulated among inaccessible mountains, the convents of Tibet have remained unregarded and almost unvisited by the scholar and the traveller - nor was it until within these few years conjectured, that in the undisturbed shelter of this region, in a climate proof against the decay and the destructive influences of tropical plains, were to be found, in complete preservation, the volumes of the Buddhist faith, in their original Sanskrit, as well as in faithful translations, which might be sought in vain on the continent of India." from the author's Preface, 1864
