Jan Willem de Jong (1921–2000) was actually a Buddhologist with a talent for multiple research languages. But in terms of his major research works, he can be called a Tibetologist. He made major contributions to the field of Tibetology, including a study of an account of the life of Mi-la-ras-pa by gTsang-smyon Heruka (1490), and the editing and translation of all Dunhuang fragments of the Rāmāyaṇa story in Tibetan.
