The following is an announcement from Dr. Victor H. Mair, Professor of Chinese Language and Literature at the University of Pennsylvania and general editor of the Cambria Sinophone World Series.
“It is with great pleasure that I announce the forthcoming publication of Buddhist Transformations and Interactions: Essays in Honor of Antonino Forte (Cambria Press, 2017). We have chosen today to make this announcement because it is the tenth anniversary of Nino’s passing on July 22, 2016.
This tome is unusual in the way that it assembles the research of distinguished scholars from various fields and regions. All these scholars knew Professor Forte personally and were influenced by his scholarship. Seldom does one find the combination of spatial breadth, temporal depth, and conceptual rigor that is found in Buddhist Transformations and Interactions. The twelve chapters in this book exemplify the method and principles of Antonino Forte’s own work and will provide readers with a much better appreciation and understanding of East Asian Buddhism.
The individual chapters and their authors are listed in the table of contents and the aims of the work as a whole are presented in the book description.
It is our intention to hold a roundtable focused on Buddhist Transformations and Interactions at the next Association for Asian Studies meeting, which will be held in Toronto from March 16-19, 2017. The book will be launched at the AAS conference.”
