Mission to Tibet
Mission to Tibet recounts the fascinating eighteenth-century journey of the Jesuit priest ippolito Desideri (1684 - 1733) to the Tibetan plateau. The italian missionary was most notably the first european to learn about Buddhism directly with Tibetan schol ars and monks - and from a profound study of its primary texts. while there, Desideri was an eyewitness to some of the most tumultuous events in Tibet's history, of which he left us a vivid and dramatic account. Desideri explores key Buddhist concepts including emptiness and rebirth, together with their philosophical and ethical implications, with startling detail and sophistication. This book also includes an introduction situating the work in the context of Desideri's life and the intellectual and religious milieu of eighteenth-century Catholicism.

Jesuit on the Roof of the World
- And highly controversial - appeal of Hermetic philosophy in the Asian missions; the political underbelly of the Chinese Rites Controversy; and the persistent European fascination with the land of snows."--Résumé de l'éditeur.

A Missionary in Tibet
This rare work is a compilation of letters and other papers belonging to Fr. Desideri, who lived in Tibet as a missionary from 1712-21. It is perhaps the earliest known account about life in Tibet, and gives a valuable documentation of his journey and experiences in 18th century Tibet, at a time when few westerners had even heard about this exotic land.
When Thomas Aquinas Met Nagarjuna
In the early 1700s, Ippolito Desideri, a Jesuit theologian from Pistoia, Italy, traveled to Tibet and lived there for five years. During the time he spent in Lhasa he became acquainted with the language, philosophy and customs of his hosts and authored four books in Tibetan in which he argued against some fine points of the Buddhist Madhyamika philosophy, and introduced the basic tenets of theism to his readers.
Dispelling the Darkness
In a remote Himalayan village in 1721, the Jesuit priest Ippolito Desideri wrote a treatise in classical Tibetan intended to refute key Buddhist doctrines and dispel the darkness of idolatry from Tibet. Dispelling the Darkness provides extended excerpts from this unfinished masterpiece and a full translation of a companion work.
The Ultimate Good
Ippolito Desideri, a Jesuit missionary who lived for five years in Tibet in the XVIII century, wrote a critique of the Buddhist Madhyamika's rejection of a creator God. In his book, originally written in Tibetan and translated into Italian in the mid XIX century, Desideri argued that the very notions of emptiness and impermanence, upheld in Buddhism, require the existence of a personal, transcendent God.
