About this Item
Description:
First edition, 3 volumes, 4to, pp. [6], xiv, [1], 594; [4], 595-1545, [1]; [4], [1547]-2690; 20th-century brown buckram stamped in gilt on spine; very good, sound, and clean throughout. From whowaswho-indology[.]info and wikipedia we learn that Józef Szczepan Kowalewski (1800-1878) was a Polish Mongolian and Buddhist scholar in Russia, and professor in Kazan and Warsaw. From 1818 he studied classical philology and literature at Vilnius University, but became involved in a student uprising and was expelled to Kazan in 1824 where he studied Mongolian and Tibetan Buddhism. In 1833, he founded the Department of Mongolian Studies at Kazan University, the first in Europe. Dismissed from the university for political reasons he returned to Poland in 1863, became Professor of history at Warsaw College (which became university in 1869), and lectured on Asian history including India. His great dictionary of classic literary Mongolian is said to be the best ever published as far as the Buddhist literature is concerned. Zaunmuller, col. 274. Seller Inventory # 68135
