Jataka (The); together with its Commentary. Being Tales of the

Anterior Birth of Gotama Buddha.

For the first time Edited in the original Pali by V. FAUSBOLL. Vol. I. Demy 8vo. cloth, pp. 512. 1877. 288. Vol. II., cloth, pp. 452. 1879. 288. For Translation see under "Buddhist

Birth Stories."

The "Jataka" is a collection of legends in Pali, relating the history of Buddha's transmigration before he was born as Gotama. The great antiquity of this work is authenticated by its forming part of the sacred canon of the Southern Buddhists, which was finally settled at the last Council in 246 B.c. The collection has long been known as a storehouse of ancient fables, and as the most original attainable source to which almost the whole of this kind of literature, from the Panchatantra and Pilpay's fables down to the nursery stories of the present day, is traceable; and it has been considered desirable, in the interest of Buddhistic studies as well as for more general literary purposes, that an edition and translation of the complete work should be prepared. The present publication is intended to supply this want.-Athenæum.
