PREFACE

This e-document aims at providing the basic bibliographical sources for Buddhist studies mainly approached from a philological viewpoint. It is, therefore, not meant to be a comprehensive bibliography of Buddhist studies in general but rather a systematic guide to bibliographical works on traditional Buddhist literature. In my survey, I have attempted to cover all relevant bibliographical sources regardless of their language and place of publication. Needless to say, however, the endeavor has been hampered by my limited knowledge of the field as well as of the spectrum of languages in which Buddhist studies have been undertaken. The development of Buddhist studies has resulted not only in an impressive expansion and subdivision of the entire field but also an increase in the number of books and articles in various languages of the world. It is thus increasingly difficult to know what works have been published, or are now being undertaken, on a particular text or topic. In this sense, electronic databases of articles like INBUDS and SARDS have been of great assistance in gathering bibliographical references on relevant studies. The former site, however, is limited as to the country of publication while the latter in respect to geographical area. Moreover, researchers also need bibliographical information about relevant books, chapters, and short notices which are found in a large array of publications. Detailed bibliographical works of any type will continue to play a very important role in supporting the desideratum of comprehensive research. It is, therefore, most regrettable that no new volumes from the excellent bibliographical series of the [Bongo butten no ĥ] (A descriptive bibliography of the Sanskrit Buddhist literature) or of the

Systematische

Übersicht

über die buddhistische Sanskrit-Literatur

have been published in this century. Only Volume Two of the latter series is available as a periodically updated online source under the title of Systematischer Überblick über die Literatur der erkenntnistheoretisch-logischen Schule des

Buddhismus (SUEBS)

. We owe the continuation of this remarkable project to the tireless efforts of a group of Vienna-based scholars. In this context, it is also important to mention free digitized bibliographies limited to specific fields such as the and the

Studies

which have taken into account East Asian publications, too. One hopes that in the coming years they will be upgraded from alphabetized lists to systematic and analytical bibliographies. Historical surveys of Indian and Buddhist studies, whether comprehensive or dedicated to specific topics, have greatly benefited researchers by providing information on the merits and drawbacks of various works, editions, and translations. The monumental survey published by

Ernst Windisch

over ninety years ago still remains a useful bibliographical tool for the history of Indian and Buddhist studies in Europe from its beginning to the early 20th century . Similarly,

J. W. de Jong

's opus dealing with Buddhist studies from their origins up to 1990 remains the most comprehensive survey of the field. The book, unfortunately, pays less attention to studies of East Asian Buddhism, but in all fairness it must be added that in his Preface, the author clearly states Indian Buddhism to be the focus of his survey. In this sense, very welcome is the appearance of a guide to Chinese Buddhist studies provided by a research group based at Komazawa studies . It is hoped that other leading scholars, working alone or in teams, will also produce comprehensive surveys devoted to the history of their respective fields. Bio-bibliographical works dedicated to a group or individual scholars can also be used for bibliographical references as well as research into the history of the field. Such information concerning not only Buddhologists but also Indologists, Tibetologists, Sinologists, Japanologists, and scholars in related areas has therefore been included in the present survey as much as possible. Like many other students of Indology and Buddhology, I have learnt a great deal from

Valentina

Stache

-Rosen 's opus on German Indologists. In this context, one is reminded of de Jong 's words: "The study of Indian Buddhism has first of all to be seen as a branch of Indology" (op. cit. , p 74).
In my survey, I have striven to include as much as possible information on reviews dedicated to particular works since quite a few of the critical reviews contain not only additions and/or corrections but also important scholarly discussions of the original work or material which forms the subject of the respective study, edition, or translation. More than fourteen years have passed since the appearance of the first edition of my bibliographical survey 1 . This period has coincided with a huge transformation in the way scholarly research is conducted, presented, and accessed. Needless to say, first and foremost, this change is connected to the spread of the Internet and the development of information technology. As mentioned above, open online access to various sources has increased dramatically. It is thus available on websites. One hopes to see other journals published by noncommercial organizations, especially institutions founded by Buddhist schools and sects in Japan, opened for public use as

TripiԆaka

, respectively abbreviated as CBETA and SAT, has performed a service of inestimable value to the Buddhological and Buddhist community as well as to many other related disciplines. Furthermore, a great number of digitalized old and rare books, directly or indirectly connected to the study of Buddhism, have been freely provided by the Internet Archives, Google, some national libraries, and other organizations. Some special collections of Buddhist manuscripts and printed books have been or are in the process of being digitalized for public use, too. In any case, the Internet has become an essential tool for collecting comprehensive academic information and accessing digitalized materials. Using reliable online sources is therefore bound to increase the efficiency of research tremendously. In this new version of my survey, itself an e-document, I have therefore tried to link

relevant websites to the respective entries in order to give quick access to adequate online sources.

I have also used the bookmark function in order to link respective entries to their reference sources.

Readers can thus make use of the bookmarks (side-headings). All headings, names of sections, divisions, subdivisions, and subjects have thus been registered as bookmarks. Needless to say, additional materials have been entered and some printing errors and bibliographical inaccuracies in the previous versions of the survey have been corrected. I must express here my deepest gratitude to Professors Junkichi Imanishi, Chancellor of the International College for Postgraduate Buddhist Studies, Toshinori Ochiai, President of the ICPBS, and Kyoko Fujii, Director of the Library of the same institution. My warmest thanks also go to Professor Dr. Florin Deleanu, Director of the International Institute for Buddhist Studies, who in spite of his busy schedule has kindly checked my poor English in the Preface and Notes. I am also grateful to Dr. Jonathan A. Silk, Professor at Leiden University and Director of the Kern

Institute, who in his kind review

2 as well as in private discussions has recommended and encouraged me to offer a new version of this survey. I would also like to express my sincere 1

Their reviews brought to my attention several important materials which I had overlooked as well as some bibliographical inaccuracies. I trust that this new contribution will be of some assistance first and foremost to young students of Buddhist studies and non -specialist librarians. At the same time, I would dare hope that this version will also benefit from criticism and suggestions of the academic community at large concerning whatever omissions and imperfections may still plague it. It is my intention to update this e-document every year also including, with due acknowledgement, additions and corrections which will reflect the help received from reviews and personal communications. NOTES

1. Coverage of entries

Sections A to J: Bibliographical works on Buddhist texts including inscriptions (Catalogues, bibliographies, bibliographical information, introductions, and surveys) Section K: General bibliographies of Buddhist and related studies Section L: Contributions to histories or trends of Buddhist and related studies Section M: Bio-bibliographical works devoted to individual scholars working in Buddhist and related studies (Bibliographies, biographies, obituaries, collected works, papers, letters, etc.)

Section N: Indexes to periodicals

2. Classification of Buddhist Texts

In the wake of the dissemination of Buddhism

from India to other Asian countries, its original scriptures were translated into various classical languages of the region and new texts in these languages began to be composed. For this reason, Buddhist texts have been classified according to the classical Asian language in which they have been transmitted. Entries are therefore classified into the following ten sections:

A: Buddhist texts in general

B: Sanskrit Buddhist texts

li and related languages D: Tibetan Buddhist texts (including Bon po texts)

E: Mongolian and Manchu Buddhist texts

F: Buddhist texts in Central Asian languages (Sogdian, Khotanese, Uigur, Tocharian, and Hsi-hsia)

G: Chinese Buddhist texts

H: Vietnamese

Buddhist texts

I: Korean Buddhist texts

J: Japanese Buddhist texts

(NB: Strictly speaking, Buddhist texts in traditional Vietnam, Korea, and Japan were mostly composed in Classical Chinese. The classification above adopts these geo-cultural areas for convenience's sake.) 3
