The authors extend the construction of spaces of generalized tensor fields on smooth manifolds that possess optimal embedding and consistency properties with spaces of tensor distributions in the sense of Schwartz. They obtain a universal algebra of generalized tensor fields canonically containing the space of distributional tensor fields. The canonical embedding of distributional tensor fields also commutes with the Lie derivative. This construction provides the basics for applications of algebras of generalized functions in nonlinear distributional geometry and, in particular, to the study of space-times of low differentiability in general relativity. For Part I see [Adv. Math. 166, No. 1, 50--72 (2002; Zbl 0995.46054)].
