William Woodville Rockhill was an American diplomat and scholar, particularly noted for his contributions to the study of Buddhism and Tibetan culture. His academic pursuits led him to translate significant texts, including 'The Life of Buddha and the Early History of His Order,' drawing from Tibetan sources that provided insights into the foundations of Buddhist thought.
