Unavailable for years, written/published in 1962, this is the only extant biography of the greatest master of Chinese Buddhism in history. I was able to see a copy via the inter-library loan system and it's old, scholarly, and dense, but even today, it's all we've got as far as I know, to learn about the life of Tiantai Zhihyi, the illustrious 6th century founder of the Tiantai school of Chinese Buddhism. The author Leon Hurvitz was a mid-century scholar who also did a translation of the Lotus Sutra , Scripture of the Lotus Blossom of the Fine Dharma among other things. Much of the information on Zhiyi (Wade-Giles = "Chih-I") in this rare biography comes from "a plethora of Japanese work" on Tendai ("Tiantai" in Japanese) thought and history which he describes as "sectarian, mechanical, and uninspired." Unlike Chan Buddhist (Zen) works, translations of Tiantai texts, treatises, and biographies are very few and are today where Tibetan works were 20-30 years ago... just beginning to appear. One notable exception is the publication of Tiantai Zhiyi's most important work, the monumental Mohezhiguan , translated in 2018 by Paul Swanson, Clear Serenity, Quiet Insight: T'ien-T'ai Chih-I's Mo-Ho Chih-Kuan . See my brief review. Also not to be missed with regard to Tiantai thought are Brook Ziporyn's works which I highly recommend: Emptiness and Omnipresence: An Essential Introduction to Tiantai Buddhism Being and Ambiguity: Philosophical Experiments with Tiantai Buddhism Evil and/or/as the Good: Omnicentrism, Intersubjectivity, and Value Paradox in Tiantai Buddhist Thought Happy reading y'all.
