THE EASTERN BUDDHIST
tion to Buddhist studies up to 1928 has been analysed in the Bibliographie bouddhique IV-V (Paris, 1934), pp. 3–19. His most important publications since 1928 have been mentioned by Paul Demiéville in “La carrière scientifique de Paul Pelliot, son æuvre relative à l'Extrême-Orient” in Paul Pelliot (Paris, 1946), pp. 29-54. Paul Demiéville (1894- ) has continued the tradition. His article on the Chinese versions of the Milindapañha (BEFEO, XXIV, 1924, pp. 1-258) is the definitive work on the subject. As editor-in-chief of the Hôbôgirin (fasc. I, 1929; fasc. 2, 1930; fasc. 3, 1937), Demiéville has contributed some very long and important articles (see for instance the article on Byo 'Illness', pp. 224-270). The recently published Choix d'études bouddhiques (Leiden, 1973) contains some of his contributions to Buddhist studies.
