Few names in the realm of scholarship are as remarkable and, in view of his unflinching ascetic dedication, as venerable as that of Csoma de Koros. He was one of Hungary's heroes who gifted his life and talents to his country's search for a new identity and self-respect.

Few names in the realm of scholarship are as remarkable and, in view of his unflinching ascetic dedication, as venerable as that of Csoma de Koros. He was one of Hungary's heroes who gifted his life and talents to his country's search for a new identity and self-respect. He was impelled, when very young, to travel to Asia to probe, truly heroically, for the origins of his people. In the course of his astoundingly arduous quest which ended only with his death, he opened new doors of knowledge to become the pioneer of Buddhist studies in Europe, the father of what has come to be called Tibetology, the exemplar of a scholar whose peerless probity was untainted by colonialist motivations and preconceptions that then marred much 'Oriental' research. Testimony to his scientific achievement is his Tibetan dictionary and Grammar, his discovery and review of the Great Buddhist Canon volumes, the Kanjur and the Tanjur, and other ancillary but seminal work. He laboured, in fairly impossible conditions, in Himalayan monasteries, and truly hermit-like, in a little corner of the Asiatic Society in Calcutta, devoted to his motherland but also to the people among whom he worked and whose languages and culture he studied with love and respect.
