Zustand: Sehr gut. Original hardcover with dust jacket, xiii, 384 pages, very good condition. Gene Smith worked for decades for the Library of Congress` Tibetan Text Publication Project to make available the literature of Tibet to the world. He often wrote prefaces to these books to help clarify and contectualize the texts. Gene Smith has become thereby one of the world`s foremost authorities on the Tibetan literature. As these reprints were produced usually only in editions of 20 copies, these introductions were hard to come by. They are now collected in this book, which itself has become quite a rarity. The chapters together form an excellent history of thought development in Tibet. Whereas Western histories of Tibet usually ignore the development and interactions of the different schools of Buddhism with the political history and Tibetan texts usually focus mostly on either Buddhist teachings or the devolpement of individuals this book provides an extremly valuable overview of the development within the Tibetan schools of Buddhism during their "peak times" and thus providing a deeper understanding also for the non-Tibetologist of the often quite complicated developments. Chapters include: The Diaries of Situ Panchen. The Early History of the Khon Family and the Sakya School. The Life of Ye shes rgyal mthsan, Preceptor of the Eight Dalai Lama. Buddhist Literary and Pratical Arts. Jamgon Kongsprul and the Nonsectarian Movement and many more. Quite uncommon. From the library of Tibetologist Helmut Eimer (but without ownership mark).

Boston, Wisdom Publications, 2001. 2e edition 384 pp. hardcover with dustjacket . Minimal wear on dustjacket. Otherwise nice copy. For three decades, E. Gene Smith ran the Library of Congress's Tibetan Text Publication Project an effort to salvage and reprint the Tibetan literature that had been collected by communities and exiles 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 20, these prefaces quickly became legendary, and soon photocopied collections were handed from scholar to scholar, achieving an almost cult status. These essays are collected here for the first time. The impact of Smith's research on the academic study of Tibetan literature has been tremendous, both for his remarkable ability to synthesize diverse materials into coherent accounts of Tibetan literature, history, and religious thought, and for the exemplary critical scholarship he brought to this field. very good condition.
