Bound in sturdy maroon/red cloth with bright gilt spine stamping, this MLBD hardcover is graded B (Good Used Condition).

As a durable vintage MLBD edition, it offers strong archival value for collectors of Vedic and South Asian scholarly works.

(Attributed to Early Buddhist Elders and Nuns)、Pal･･･

This volume contains the Thera- and Ther?-G?th? (Verses of the Elder Monks and Nuns), an important collection of poems from the Khuddaka Nik?ya of the P?li Canon. These verses describe the spiritual journeys and enlightenment experiences of the Buddha’s earliest followers. The Ther?g?th? is especially famous because it is the oldest known collection of women’s religious poetry, giving rare insight into the lives and achievements of early Buddhist nuns. This edition was published in 1966 by the Pali Text Society (PTS) in London. It is based on the classic 1883 edition by Hermann Oldenberg and Richard Pischel and includes helpful appendices by K. R. Norman and L. Alsdorf. The cloth-bound hardcover is in Good (Grade B) condition. The spine lettering is clear, with only light wear, corner bumps, and normal age toning on the page edges. No major damage is visible. It remains a solid and useful scholarly copy.
