The Pilgrimage of Fa Hian

by Foe Koue Ki

Fa-hien was the first to make a pilgrimage in India. His journey lasted about sixteen years (A.D. 399-414) and described in detail in his work titled Foe-Koue-Ki. The original purpose of the editor on undertaking the present version of the Koe-Koue-Ki, was to furnish the text of the Chinese author with its commentary. The Scholars and general readers of history will surely welcome this reprint of immense historical value, being made available again after well over 150 years.
