Laurence Austine Waddell (1854-1938) qualified in medicine and
chemistry at Glasgow University and in 1880 embarked on a
successful career in the colonial Indian Medical Service which took
him to Darjeeling, Burma and Tibet, and eventually an academic post
at Calcutta Medical College. In addition, Waddell studied Sanskrit
and published extensively on Tibet (his books Among the Himalayas
(1899) and Lhasa and its Mysteries (1905) are also reissued in the
Cambridge Library Collection). This landmark study of Tibetan
Buddhism first appeared in 1895. Waddell cites earlier European
scholarship, including that of Burnouf (also reissued), but
emphasises that his book is based on original field research at
temples and among the lay population. It covers the history of
Tibetan Buddhism, its relationship with other branches of Buddhism,
doctrine, places of worship, rituals and festivals, popular
religion and the occult. It also includes around 200 illustrations
and a substantial bibliography.
