EVANS-WENTZ, Walter Yeeling (ed.).

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

The Tibetan Book of the Dead First edition. The work of Kazi Dawa-Samdup (1868-1922), a Buddhist scholar who served on the Dalai Lama's staff, this translation popularized Tibetan Buddhism in the West and inspired the likes of W. B. Yeats, James Joyce, and Carl Jung. The latter wrote an extended commentary, which was published in the 1957 third edition.Evans-Wentz completed and edited Samdup's translation after his death, devising an English title that could invoke comparison with the Egyptian Book of the Dead, rendered into English by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge in 1867.
