About This Book

A biography compiled chiefly from unpublished material traces the life and scholarly labors of a European orientalist who devoted himself to Tibetan studies. It reconstructs key episodes of his career, details his major publications — including a Tibetan grammar and dictionary, translations, and numerous essays — and surveys a body of unpublished manuscripts. The narrative summarizes his analyses of Buddhist canonical texts and offers geographical and linguistic notices, while appendices provide brief descriptions of extant manuscripts and collected terms. A preface acknowledges scarce sources but presents a connected account of his methods and contributions to Tibetan literature and Buddhistic learning.
