Beschreibung:
David Snellgrove (1920-2016) was renowned for his ability to convey the spirit as well as the textual interpretation of Sanskrit and Tibetan texts relating to the history of Buddhism. Following his retirement from teaching commitments in 1982, and a career-long interest in Tibetan peoples and cultures, Dr. Snellgrove transferred his scholarly focus to South-East Asia, primarily Indonesia and Cambodia, where he resided for over ten years. David Snellgrove was a Doctor of Literature in the University of Cambridge, Professor Emeritus of the University of London and a Fellow of the British Academy.
The present volume provides an edited and corrected transcription the original Tibetan textual autobiographies of four Tibetan lamas of the Dolpo region, three of whom were born in the 16th century and one in the 17th. An accompaniment to Volume I, which provided the full English translation of the biographies, this second volume, in addition to the Tibetan texts formatted for reproduction in Western book form, also includes transliterations of short passages and verse extracted from the manuscripts, notes on the translations in the first volume and a detailed glossary. Of interest to all students of Tibetan religion and culture who are also versed in classical Tibetan language.
