On Yuan Chwang's Travels in India, 629–645 A.D. v1.c4.s1.2

v1.c4.s1.2

The only other translation of the "Hsi-yü-chi" into a western language is the English version by the late Revd S. Beal. This was published in 1884 with the title "Buddhist Records of the Western World, Translated from the Chinese of Hiuen Tsiang (A. D. 629)". The title is characteristic of the translator, and the reader may compare it with that given by Julien to his translation. Mr Beal's work is a translation partly "from the Chinese" and partly from the French. In it many of the careless mistakes which disfigure Julien's treatise are corrected and its notes supply the student with numerous references to old and recent western authorities.
