Now, for scholars of Buddhism and Indian studies, this vitally needed index is available. The long-awaited volume will help them analyze the four basic texts in early Buddhism of the Pali canon, Suttanipata, Dhammapada, Theragatha, and Therigatha, so that they can produce more accurate critical editions of them. The index will also facilitate systematic textual analysis of vocabulary, structure, meter, and the like. The compilers used personal computers to process a huge volume of data from the early canonical texts. MORIICHI YAMAZAKI, Litt. D., professor at Sendai National College of Technology, specializes in early Buddhism and Jainism. YUMI OUSAKA, D. Sc., also professor at Sendai National College of Technology, specializes in theoretical physics and computer analysis. K. R. NORMAN is a professor emeritus of Cambridge University and a past president of the Pali Text Society. 571 pp. 15.1 x 22.7 cm. (softcover)
