This volume initiates a new series dedicated to offering state-of-the-art critical editions, translations, and studies of Buddhist scriptures, seeking to set a standard for the presentation of Buddhist literature analogous to that in Biblical Studies and in Classics.

Indian Mahāyāna Buddhist traditions produced hundreds of scriptures and treatises, only a small number of which have received serious scholarly attention. The present volume inaugurates the Buddhist Open Philology Project (BOPP) publication series, which aims to produce state-of-the-art critical editions, translations, and studies of individual works, thereby seeking to advance the comprehensive study of Buddhism’s vast literary tradition.

This volume collects four studies on the composition and impact of the collection of scriptures called the Mahāratnakūṭa (“Great Heap of Jewels”), including critical editions and translations of two scriptures.

Contributors are: Jonathan A. Silk, †Gadjin M. Nagao, and Michael Radich.

Rafal Felbur, Ph.D. (2018), Stanford University, is Assistant Professor in Buddhist Studies at the University of Heidelberg. He works on the intellectual, cultural, and social dynamics of the encounter between India and China in the first millennium CE.
