This is Volume One of Texts (from Sanskrit and Tibetan sources) of the two planned volumes on Buddhist Logic (the second volume to be on topics and opponents).

This first volume is in two parts: Part I (Introductory) has Asanga's Rules of Debate, Dharmakirti's Nyayabindu with Kamalasila's commentary, and Santi-pa's treatise on 'inner pervasion.

Part II, devoted to the Dignaga-Dharmaklrti system, has five sets of eleven verses, then a study of Bu-Ston's commentary on Dharmakirti's Pramanaviniscaya, and finally Tsong-kha-pa's Mun sel on the Seven Books of Dharmakirti. The 'Millennium' goes from Asanga to Tsongkha-pa. The texts here included began to be translated in the 1980s, were all in draft renditions in the 1980s, and were brought to their present condition in the 1990s. Doubtless the present volume took longer than originally anticipated, and hopefully this published result will compensate for the many years of delay.
