Buddhaghosa,Edited by H.C. Norman、Pali Text Societ・・・
This volume is a key resource for studying Theravada Buddhist narrative literature. H.C. Norman’s edition, originally compiled between 1906 and 1915, was the first to critically bring together ancient palm-leaf manuscripts—including rare Khmer and Burmese versions—alongside traditional Sinhalese texts. It turns the oral commentary tradition into a definitive Romanized Pali text, making it accessible to modern scholars. Volume I covers the opening chapters of the Dhammapada, providing the background stories (Vatthu) for the verses. Notable contents include the story of Cakkhupāla, the blind monk, and a psychological analysis of the Yamaka Vagga (The Pairs). The text is in Romanized Pali, with detailed footnotes highlighting manuscript variations. This 1970 reprint, bound in sturdy blue-grey buckram by Stephen Austin & Sons, carries SBN 7189 0481 8 and was sponsored by the same benefactor who supported Burlingame’s Buddhist Legends. Essential for Pali students, university libraries.
