Published in 1908, this history of early Buddhism traces the evolution of the religion from its origins in the myths of the Vedic gods to the advent of the Buddha and the incorporation of such doctrines as the transmigration of souls and karma.

About the Author

Thomas William Rhys Davids (1843-1922) was an English expert in the Pāli language used to record the sacred texts of Theravada Buddhism. After teaching the language at the University of London, he became Chair of Comparative Religion at the University of Manchester. He founded the Pāli Text Society in 1881 to promote the study of these writings.
