Description

142 pages plus 40 pages of full-page black and white illustrations. Index. Reprint of the 1892 first edition. "Intended to 1) Place on record a full and connected description of the Sanchi memorials; and to show their connection with religious systems antecedent to what is now called Buddhism. 2) To give accurate illustrations, from the author's hand-drawn originals, of the Sanchi buildings, and sculptures 3) To invite attention to the evidence, which the Sanchi remains supply, that the Buddhism of Sakya - which is usually attributed to the sixth century B.C. - was introduced, as a reform of the pre-existing semi-Mithraic faith, about the commencement of the Christian era; that is, shortly before the time when the gateway sculptures of Sanchi were executed." - from Preface. Heavy external wear. Usual library markings. A worthy reading copy. Book
