Contents: 1. Historical. 2. Doctrinal. 3. Monastic. 4. Buildings. 5. Mythology and Gods. 6. Ritual and sorcery. 7. Festivals and plays. 8. Popular Lamaism. Appendices. Index. "The special characteristics of the book are its detailed accounts of the external facts and curious symbolisms of Buddhism, and its analyses of the internal movements leading to Lamaism and its sects and cults. It provides material culled from hoary Tibetan tradition and explained by Lamas for elucidating many obscure parts in primitive Indian Buddhism and its later symbolism. Thus a clue is supplied to several dispute doctrinal points of fundamental importance, as for example the formula of the casual nexus. "With this view the nabulous Tibetan "history" so called of the earlier periods has been somewhat critically examined in the light afforded by some scholarly Lamas and contemporary history and all fictitious chronicles, hitherto treated usually as historical and rejected as authoritative for events which happened a thousand years before they were written and for a time when writing was admittedly unknown in Tibet." 598 pp

8vo; Toronto : University of Toronto. 1966.Cloth. Small 4to. Viii, 211, 186, 228 pages. Illustrated. Second edition. The present edition of this book is reproduced almost exactly as the original, with the three parts bound into one volume, and with the important addition of an essay on a Chinese illuminated scroll of Esther by the noted Judaic scholar, Cecil Roth. The new edition also includes an updated bibliography and a list of minor corrections. First published in three parts in 1942 by the University of Toronto Press. SUBJECT(S): Jews China Kaifeng Xian. CONTENTS: Historical; Inscriptional; Genealogical. The first evidence of Jews in China dates from the early eighth century. Later, Jews came by way of Mid Eastern trade route, and the first permanent Jewish settlement in China, whose descendants are still present in K'ai Feng, was in the ninth of tenth century. Their numbers grew large enough to be noticed by the central government in the mid 1300s. After the first early settlers, though, no new Jewish communities were created in China until the 1800s; consequently, the K'ai Feng Jews were diluted through, intermarriage with the Chinese, both in religion and ethnicity over the centuries.
