Edward Conze was one of the most important Buddhist scholars of the twentieth century, producing numerous influential translations of his own.

The evolution of Buddhist philosophy and theology is represented through a wealth of original texts, all newly translated for this volume.
 
Covering the breadth of Buddhist traditions, this volume incudes works translated from Pali, Sanskrit, Chinese, Tibetan, and Japanese. An ideal companion to Conze's essential text, Buddhism, this edition also includes a glossary of English and foreign terms.
