Buddhist Asia, Volume 1
ISBN: 9784900793224
This volume contains the collected papers presented during the first conference on Buddhist Studies. The conference was held in May of 2001 in honor of the inauguration of the new Centre for Buddhist Studies (Centro di Studi sul Buddhismo) at the Universita "L'Orientale" in Naples, Italy. The collected papers reference Indo-Tibetan and East Asian traditions and disciplines including art history, archaeology, philology, textual criticism, and religious and intellectual history. All the contributors were at the time faculty members or graduate students in the Department of Asian Studies.
This collection is part of a series by the Italian School of East Asian Studies (ISEAS) research institute, which focuses on the history, culture, literature, and religion of East Asia. Unless otherwise noted, all books are primarily in English, with references in Chinese and Japanese for important terms, concepts and bibliographical sources throughout.

The Italian School of East Asian Studies (ISEAS) in Kyoto is a research institute established by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and is open to scholars and students of any country engaged in research concerning ancient and modern East Asia.
Available exclusively from Cheng & Tsui, the four series published by ISEAS provide scholars with a rich body of high quality, multilingual source materials on the histories, cultures, literatures, and religions of East Asia. These original papers reflect the creative research of scholars trained in multiple languages who have utilized source documents in Japanese, Chinese, and Korean for the study of various topics in East Asian history. Especially valuable is the comparative analysis among East Asian societies and between East Asia and Europe that this type of research allows, and that these books reflect. Unless otherwise noted, all books are primarily in English, with references in Chinese and Japanese for important terms, concepts and bibliographical sources throughout.
