It covers works spanning dogma, history, and geographical distribution of Buddhism, drawing from monographs, journal articles, and memoirs published across German, French, English, and Russian scholarly outlets up to roughly the early 1860s. The compiler explicitly acknowledges the incompleteness of the list given the vastness of European Buddhist scholarship, while noting it is the first such enumeration of its kind \u2014 positioning it as a pioneering reference tool rather than a definitive catalogue. A notable structural feature is its dual organization: an alphabetical author list with cross-references to critical dissertations, paired with an index of periodicals and their abbreviations, designed for practical navigation by researchers. The range of sources \u2014 from the Asiatic Society of Bengal's journals to St. Petersburg Academy bulletins to Paris orientalist publications \u2014 reflects the genuinely pan-European and colonial-institutional character of mid-19th-century Buddhist studies. This text will most interest historians of Orientalism or researchers tracing the foundational bibliography of Western Buddhist scholarship.","tags":["19th Century Buddhology","Buddhist Iconography","Tibetan Buddhism"],"text":null,"title":"Appendix.
