Buddhist studies 1984-1990 (J. W. de Jong) away are David Friedmann (1903-1984) who translated the first chapter of Sthiramati's Madhyāntavibhāgaţikā (Utrecht, 1937), Eugène Denis (1921-1986), the author of a two-volume book on the Lokapanñatti: La Lokapaññatti et les idées cosmologiques du bouddhisme ancien (Paris, 1977), and Hermann Kopp (1902-1987) who edited several Pāli commentaries. In 1986 A.L. Basham (1914-1986) passed away. Most of his publications relating to Buddhism aim at a more general public. No complete bibliography of his writings has as yet been published. In 1982 S.N. Mukherjee published a bibliography which does not go beyond 1976 and the same bibliography has been faithfully reproduced, misprints and all, with the addition of a few more by S.K. Maity in 1988. Russell Webb has given a useful survey of Basham's publications relating to Buddhism. It is, however, not complete and does not mention, for instance, his article on "The evolution of the concept of the bodhisattva”.
2. Several volumes of collected papers were published in recent years. The seventieth birthday of Gustav Roth saw the publication of a volume of his Indian Studies (Delhi, 1986). Friedrich Weller's Kleine Schriften were published in two volumes (Stuttgart, 1987). In 1989 Ernst Waldschmidt's Ausgewählte kleine Schriften were published (Stuttgart, 1989). On the occasion of his retirement from Kyoto University Yüichi Kajiyama's English and German articles were published: Studies in Buddhist Philosophy (Kyoto, 1989). The first volume of K.R. Norman's Collected Papers was published in 1990 (Oxford, 1990). It comprises thirty articles first published between 1956 and 1977. The writings of both Hakuyū Hadano and Shinten Sakai were published in four volumes: Hadano Hakuyū Chibetto-Indogaku shūsei (Kyoto, 1986-1988); Sakai Shinten chosakushū (Kyoto, 1983-1988).
Tucci's memory was honoured with the publication of three volumes of papers, edited by G. Gnoli and L. Lanciotti: Orientalia Iosephi Tucci Memoriae Dicata (Roma, 1985, 1987 and 1988). The Indologica
