Buddhist Sects in India, Nalinaksha Dutt's 1970 survey from Firma K. L. Mukhopadhyay, examines Buddhist sectarian divisions with the direct command of Pali and Sanskrit sources of an established Indian Buddhologist. Its strength is that direct source command. Its limit is its age, over fifty years; more recent scholarship has refined some of the sectarian chronology it presents, so a reader wanting current consensus on a specific school's dating should check newer work.
