La Vie inconnue, claimed by Notovitch to be based on a Tibetan manuscript, gained world-wide circulation and credit for several years but was demolished early on by Friedrich Max Müller (Last Essays: Second Series, Essays on the Science of Religion. London, 1901, Bib# 998932/Fr# 1489 in this collection). The final revision, see H. L. Fader, The Issa Tale that Will not Die. Lanham, 2003, p. 5 (see Bib# 4103101/Fr# 1490). For the sixth edition (one of eight ‘editions’ from a single setting of type, all issued by Ollendorff in 1894), see Bib# 9736972/Fr# 1488.1.</span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_4103099" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a></span></span></p>
