The Sacred Books of the the East include all the most important works of the seven non-Christian religions that important works of the seven non Christian religions that have exercised a profound influence on the civilization of the continent of Asia. Of the Indian religion the Vedic-Brahmanic system here claims twenty-one volumes, Buddhism ten and Jainism two. Eight volumes comprise translations of the sacred books of the Persians. Two volumes represent Islam and six the two main indigenous systems of China Confucianism and Taoism. This great undertaking planned and edited by professor Max Muller has been carried out by the collaboration of twenty scholars.

Friedrich Max Müller (1823 –1900) was a German-born philologist and Orientalist, who lived and studied in Britain for most of his life. He was one of the founders of the western academic disciplines of Indian studies and religious studies ('science of religion', German: Religionswissenschaft). Müller wrote both scholarly and popular works on the subject of Indology. The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume set of English translations, was prepared under his direction. Moriz Winternitz (1863 – 1937) was a scholar from Austria who began his Indology contributions working with Max Müller at the Oxford University. An eminent Sanskrit scholar, he worked as a professor in Prague in the German part of Karl-Ferdinands-Universitat after 1902, for nearly thirty years. His Geschichte der indischen Literatur over 1908-1922 period was a major and comprehensive literary history of Sanskrit texts. The contributions on a wide range of Sanskrit texts by Winternitz have been an influential resource for modern era studies on Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Arthur Anthony Macdonell, FBA (1854 –1930) was a noted Sanskrit scholar. He was born at Muzaffarpur in the Tirhut region of the state of Bihar in British India, the son of Charles Alexander Macdonell, of the Indian Army. He was educated at Göttingen University, then matriculated in 1876 at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, gaining a classical exhibition and three scholarships (for German, Chinese, and the Boden Scholarship for Sanskrit). Macdonell edited various Sanskrit texts, wrote a grammar, compiled a dictionary, and published a Vedic grammar, a Vedic Reader, and a work on Vedic mythology; he also wrote a history of Sanskrit.
