Description

Contents

Alice Getty's The Gods of Northern Buddhism, first published in 1914 and reissued in a revised edition in 1928, still holds it place as one of the primary sources of information on Buddhist lore and iconography. Both editions, however, were issued in small printings and have unfortunately become excessively rare. The current reprint of the revised second edition is being issued in line with our policy of again making available to scholars, interested laymen, and libraries throughout the world valuable books on Asia containing much original research materials not elsewhere available. - Excerpt from the Publisher's Note

The Gods of Northern Buddhism, Alice Getty, Dover Publications, Paperback, 1928/1988, 220 pages plus 67 plates, $14.95
