BOOK REVIEW is to be hoped he will further explore the domain of the sutras and produce in the near future a result comparable in its scholarly value to the present book. MASAAKI HATTORI Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan NOTES 1 The text of the Ratnagotravibhaga as we possess it now is a combination of the basic text in verse and the commentary (Vyakhya) in verse and prose. An attempt to reconstitute the original text by extracting a certain number of verses from the present text was made by J. Takasaki, cf. Introduction, II, and Appendix I of the book mentioned below in n. 6. L. Schmithausen proposed an emendment to the original text prepared by Takasaki, cf.
