The most influential work on Buddhism to be published in the
nineteenth century, "Introduction a l'histoire 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. But a century and a half on,
Burnouf's text has largely been forgotten.
All that changes with Katia Buffetrille and Donald S. Lopez
Jr.'s English translation of this foundational text. Reemerging
here as a vibrant artifact of intellectual history and as a
progenitor of the often colorful genealogy of Buddhist studies,
"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. Indeed, the work offers a
wellspring of still-valuable information and insight into the
theory and practice of Buddhism. In reintroducing Burnouf to a new
generation of Buddhologists, Buffetrille and Lopez have revived a
seminal text in the history of Orientalism.
