Book Synopsis A Gāndhārī Version of the Rhinoceros Sūtra by : Richard Salomon
Book excerpt: Launches the series of text editions and studies of the birth bark scrolls in the British Library's Kharosthi manuscript collection, dating from about the first century AD. Most of the Gandhari fragments have yet to be identified, but the Rhinoceros Sutra is also known in Pali and Sanskrit versions. A 100-page introduction to the language and manuscript is followed by a transcribed text with translation and an annotated text with translation and commentary. Color photographs of the fragments themselves are also included. Ghandhari words are indexed, but not subjects. c. Book News Inc.
