mentions is Elek Csetri, who has here contributed an article on 'Csoma de Körös's Life Before His Oriental Journey' (pp. 143-158). Since the publication of Duka's book much information seems to have been discovered concerning the life and the activities of Csoma de Kőrös. It is to be hoped that this information will be made accessible in English in a new biography. Another desideratum is a bibliography of publications relating to Csoma de Körös with a short analysis of those written in Hungarian.
These two volumes include 46 articles written by scholars from 17 countries. The articles are published according to the alphabetical order of the names of the scholars: Volume 1.
