The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Questions of King Milinda, Part 1 (1890) translated by T. W. Rhys Davids, is Volume XXXV of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book, in two parts, focuses on Buddhism and documents a dialogue about Buddhism between Nagasena and King Menander I (Pali: Milinda). This text is considered canonical by Burmese Buddhists and is a valuable addition to the personal library of those interested in Buddhism.
