Buddhist Birth Stories: Jataka Tales (Revised, newly composed text edition) | T. W. Rhys Davids - Softcover
Synopsis
These essays, along with the subsequent translation, were originally published in 1880 as a part of Trubner's Oriental Series. The volume not only included these essays but also featured the initial segments of a more extensive work—a translation of the Jataka, a collection of over 550 folklore tales that constitutes a part of the Buddhist canonical scriptures. Each tale is presented in prose, providing an explanation for a much older poem consisting of two or more lines. The verses contain allusions that require the elucidation provided in the accompanying prose. Additionally, each story is enriched with an episode purportedly from the life of the founder of what is now referred to as Buddhism.
