Collected in one book for the first time in the modern era: The Bodhisattvacaryāvatāra, or The Way of the Bodhisattva (BCA), and The Śikṣāsamuccaya, or The Compendium of Training. Available for free as a PDF online at Bodhicitta.org
This "Tsadra Critical Edition" was created for the Bodhicitta Resource Project by comparing four versions of the text from Derge, Cone, Narthang, and Peking Tengyurs from BDRC scans, along with Dunhuang manuscripts IOL Tib J 628, 629, and 630. When Tibetan readings were problematic, the Sanskrit texts from GRETIL and LTB (Oslo) were consulted.
The book includes an extensive introduction in English covering the life of Śāntideva with reference to special sources, the history and legacy of his texts and teachings, as well as research on the history and origins of the Śikṣāsamuccaya.
Also available in a limited "deluxe" edition with box.
