Rezensionen

"Olga Kubica provides a most authoritative survey of the interactions of the Greeks in India with their Buddhist contemporaries. Her work is an invaluable guide to the historical and philological problems and to the scholarly controversies surrounding this period of ferment in the history of ideas." Richard Stoneman, Honorary Visiting Professor, University of Exeter, UK
