Review “In this digital age, translators no longer have a stack of reference books on their desks. I still keep one within arm’s reach: Paul Hackett’s verb lexicon from 2003. This new and expanded version, more than twice the size of its predecessor, is an indispensable tool for all translators of Tibetan.” —Donald S. Lopez Jr., Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies, University of Michigan “Paul Hackett’s verb lexicon is a must-have for Tibetanists at all levels. The usage of verbs is so varied that this publication is invaluable.” —Jeffrey Hopkins, Professor Emeritus of Tibetan Buddhism, University of Virginia “This significantly revised edition of Paul Hackett’s A Tibetan Verb Lexicon is the most extensive, and the most important, bilingual resource currently available for understanding the complex universe of verb formation and usage in Classical Tibetan literature. It is sure to become an indispensable reference for translators and students alike.” —Andrew Quintman, Associate Professor of Religion, Wesleyan University About the Author Paul Hackett specializes in canonical Buddhist philosophy and Tibetan culture, as well as their influence on contemporary alternative religion in America.
