Title: Istochnik Mudretsov. Tibetsko-Mongolskii Terminologicheskii Slovar Buddizma. Paramita I Madkhiamika (the Source of Sages. Tibetan-Mongolian Dictionary of Buddhism. Paramita and Madhyamaka)
Description: Ulan-Ude, Buriatskoe Knizhnoe Izdatelstvo, 1968. First Edition. First Russian edition, first ever translation in an European language, 1 of 1000 copies; 10 x 6 3/4; pp. 3-164, [4]; light-brown wraps, printed and ruled in black; a few light spots to margins; chips to tips of spine; small nicks to fore-edge of wraps; in about very good condition. Compiled by a group of learned lamas in 1741-1742, the book's scope would spread beyond that of a dictionary, with its system of terms for five branches of Buddhist knowledge - philosophy, logic, linguistics, technology, and medicine. A recognized historical work, it would not be translated into a European language for over 200 years, until this edition. Very good .
