'''Étienne Paul Marie Lamotte''' (21 November 1903 – 5 May 1983) was a [[Belgium|Belgian]] [[priest]] and Professor of [[Greek language|Greek]] at the [[Catholic University of Leuven (1834–1968)|Catholic University of Louvain]], but was better known as an [[Indologist]] and the greatest authority on [[Buddhism]] in the West in his time.{{cn|date=March 2023}} He studied under his pioneering compatriot [[Louis de La Vallée-Poussin]] and was one of the few scholars familiar with all the main Buddhist languages: [[Pali]], [[Sanskrit]], [[Chinese language|Chinese]] and [[Standard Tibetan|Tibetan]]. His first published work was his PhD thesis: ''Notes sur le Bhagavad-Gita'' (Paris, Geuthner, 1929). - In 1953, he was awarded the [[Francqui Prize]] in [[Human science|Human Science]].

==The Translation of Da zhi du lun==
He is also known for his French translation of the [[Mahāprajñāpāramitāupadeśa]] ({{zh|大智度論}}, English: Treatise on the Great Perfection of Wisdom), a text attributed to [[Nagarjuna|Nāgārjuna]]. Lamotte thought that the text was most likely composed by an Indian [[bhikkhu]] from the [[Sarvastivada]] tradition, who later became a [[Religious conversion|convert]] to [[Mahayana]] [[Buddhism]]. Lamotte's translation was published in five volumes but unfortunately remains incomplete, since his death put an end to his efforts.

==Other works==
In addition to the [[Mahāprajñāpāramitāupadeśa]], Lamotte also composed several other important translations from [[Mahayana]] [[sutra]]s, including the [[Suramgamasamadhi sutra]], and the [[Vimalakirti]] [[sutra]].

==Publications==
Paul Williams, author of a book review of one of Lamotte's books for the ''[[Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society]]'', wrote that his "works are always more than just translations or interpretations. They are vast encyclopedias of references and primary source materials from half a dozen languages which he seems to handle with complete familiarity."<ref name=Williamsp171>Williams, p. 171.</ref>
