Bibliography of Translations from Sanskrit Buddhist Texts into English

Last Updated: 5th April, 2023 (incomplete/ongoing)

The following bibliography is structured based on the organisational scheme employed by the Digital Sanskrit Buddhist Canon project. It aims to present a comprehensive list of Sanskrit Buddhist texts translated into English, either published in print form or online. Short excerpts are too copious and won't be listed. Links will be provided when an out of copyright or open-access title is available online. Suggestions for additions to this bibliography are welcome: my contact email.
