The most influential work on Buddhism to be published in the
nineteenth century, Introduction a l'historie du Buddhisme indien,
by the great French scholar of Sanskrit Eugene Burnouf, set the
course for the academic study of Buddhism - and Indian Buddhism in
particular - for the next hundred years. First published in 1844,
the masterwork was read by some of the most important thinkers of
the time, including Schopenhauer and Nietzsche in Germany and
Emerson and Thoreau in America. Katia Buffetrille and Donald S
Lopez Jr 's expert English translation, Introduction to the History
of Indian Buddhism, provides a clear view of how the religion was
understood in the early decades of the nineteenth century. Burnouf
was an impeccable scholar, and his vision, especially of the
Buddha, continues to profoundly shape our modern understanding of
Buddhism. In reintroducing Burnouf to a new generation of
Buddhologists, Buffetrille and Lopez have revived a seminal text in
the history of Orientalism.
