Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies About the Sanskrit Buddhist Literature
The present article forms a sequel to what I published on the same subject in the first volume of the Polish Archives of Oriental Research, three years ago. The notes I venture to pre sent to the readeriwere mostly taken in the year 1915 when I was busy in bringing about the MS (long since ready for print) for a; revised edition of the Buddhacarita. Whoever thinks we had better refrain from such conjectural emendation and critical examination of ancient texts, may condemn my work as super ?uous. For my part I subscribe to Bohtlingk's opinion that it is 7, fiir die Wissenschaft erspriesslicher, schon gedruckte Werke, die dem Inhalt oder der Sprache nach Beachtung verdienen, zu sich ten und zu verbessern, als neuere Erzeugnisse von fraglichem Werte zu veroffentlichen. Now the Buddhacarita certainly deser ves consideration in the utmost degree.
