Description
David L. Snellgrove - 1959 - The Hevajra Tantra - A Critical Study (366p).pdf Paperback: 338 pages Publisher: Orchid Press (April 16, 2011) Language: English ISBN-10: 9745241288 ISBN-13: 978-9745241282 The first full authoritative and annotated translation of any Buddhist tantric text into English. David Snellgrove's translation of this text contains several instances of censorship by Snellgrove, making it an unreliable translation overall. For readers looking into this title in interests of finding a reliable English translation I would recommend Farrow and Menon's translation in "The Concealed Essence of the Hevajra Tantra", being a much better choice than this book. David Snellgrove, Ph. D., D. Litt., was elected Fellow of the British Academy in 1968. For a five year period he was Consultant for Buddhism at the then newly established Vatican Secretariat for non-Christian Religions. The author of numerous books and articles on Himalayan and Southeast Asian religions, he has been widely recognized for his extensive contributions to Asian scholarship. Sharing Widget |
