From Library Journal
Originally developed as the catalog of a large exhibition of Buddhist art at the Museum and Art Gallery of Hong Kong University, this book is a work of art in its own right and now has been published for a wider audience. Fourteen scholarly articles on the history of Buddhist art, along with illustrations and maps, comprise the first third of the book. The rest contains the catalog of the exhibition, consisting of some 121 extraordinary works of art, beautifully displayed in full-color, generally full-page photographs. Each catalog item provides the necessary technical data on each work, such as its date, provenance, size and composition, and current ownership. The meaning and importance of the art is also briefly discussed. While this book will reward careful study, it is at the same time a pleasure just to browse through. Recommended for any library with a special interest in art or religion.
