HISTORY OF INDIAN BUDDHISM
by Etienne Lamotte
The works contains a vivid, vigorous and fully-detailed description of early Buddhism and its teachings, the material organization of the Community, the formation and further developments of the writings, the conciliar traditions, the evolution of Buddhist sculpture and architecture, the origins of the sects, the Buddhist dialects and the constitution of the legends, and sets them in the historical background in which Buddhist doctrines originated and expanded in India and the neighboring countries.
Using the material evidence provided by Indian epigraphy and archeological remains on one hand, and taking into account the data supplied by Western (Latin and Greek) and Far Eastern (Tibetan and Chinese) sources on the other, Msgr. Lamotte has succeeded in producing a lucid and basic book that is unanimously considered a classic of contemporary Buddhist studies.

HISTORY OF TIBET, 3 Vol. Set
by Alex McKay
These History of Tibet volumes have a format which has become an increasingly practical format for the dissemination of modern Tibetan studies - a cohesive collection of scholarly articles grouped around a particular theme.
While most of the material included here has been previously published, the nature of the academic process is such that many of the articles have appeared in obscure publications, have enjoyed only limited circulation or are otherwise difficult to locate.
They are presented here in conjunction with extracts from original documents and contributions. Collectively, these articles form a relatively cohesive body of contemporary knowledge concerning the history of Tibet, and reflect the state of current scholarship in this field.
Volume 1: The Early Period: to c. AD 850, The Yarlung Dynasty.
Volume 2: The Medieval Period: c. 850-1895. The Development of Buddhist Paramountcy.
Volume 3: The Modern Period: 1895-1959, The Encounter with Modernity.

AMONG TIBETAN TEXTS: History and Literature of the Himalayan Plateau
by Gene Smith
E. Gene Smith ran the Library of Congress' Tibetan Text Publication Project of the United States Public Law 480 (PL480)- an effort to salvage and reprint the Tibetan literature that had been saved by the exile community or by members of the Tibetan speaking communities of Sikkim, Bhutan, India, and Nepal. Smith wrote prefaces to these reprinted books to help clarify and contextualize the particular Tibetan texts: the prefaces served as rough orientations to a poorly understood body of foreign literature. Originally produced in print quantities of twenty, these prefaces quickly became legendary, and soon photocopied collections were handed from scholar to scholar, achieving an almost cult status. "Among Tibetan Texts" collects these essays, presenting them together for the first time.
The essays span a vast range of Tibetan literature, covering Buddhist texts from all lineages, histories, biographies, and literary arts. They provide historical context for the origins of the various traditions, with helpful lineage charts and overviews of the literature and the great figures that shaped those traditions. The impact of Smith's essays on the academic study of Tibetan literature has been tremendous, both for their remarkable ability to synthesize diverse materials into coherent accounts of Tibetan literature, history, and religious thought, and for the exemplary critical scholarship Smith brought- and continues to bring- to this field.

THE HISTORY AND LITERATURE OF BUDDHISM
by T. W. Rhys Davids
Before T.W. Rhys Davids and some others ventured into interpretations of obscure sources of Buddhist philosophy and history, most of the material was lying scattered. It was strange, and very characteristic of the real meaning of true Buddhism, that there was no life of Gautama the Buddha in the Buddhist scriptures. Rhs Davids, in writing this book, regarded "Buddhism as a different kind of religion divorced from all that is known of religion in the traditional sense of the term."
