Eugene Burnouf (1801 52), an eminent French orientalist and scholar
of Sanskrit, made groundbreaking contributions to the knowledge of
Zoroastrianism and to the deciphering of the Zend and P li
languages. He was a member of the Academie des Inscriptions et
Belles-Lettres, and of numerous Asiatic societies throughout
Europe. When he first published this monumental work of scholarship
in 1844, Burnouf established European Buddhist studies on solid
foundations. In it, he presents the Indian historical context in
which Buddhism developed, as well as its connections and debates
with Brahmanism. He also sheds light on the role of the caste
system in this religion. To this day, Burnouf's pioneering vision
continues to shape our understanding of Buddhism. This second
edition was published posthumously in 1876, with an introduction by
the French philosopher and journalist Jules Barthelemy
Saint-Hilaire (1805 95). It remains of relevance to students of
religion, oriental studies and Indian history.
