lation of the Catustava, reproducing Tucci's edition of the Niraupamyastava and the Paramārthastava and Lindtner's edition of the Lokātītastava and the Acintyastava. The same scholars edited and translated the Tibetan text of the Sunyatāsaptati. The Pratītyasamutpādakārikās are attributed to Nagārjuna. Lindtner accepts their authenticity but this is disputed by Carmen Dragonetti who assigns this work to Suddhamati. Lindtner's Nāgārjuniana (Copenhagen, 1982) was reviewed in detail by P. Williams.
Karen Lang published the Sanskrit and Tibetan texts of Aryadeva's Catuḥsataka together with an annotated translation. The Sanskrit fragments comprise less than a third of the four hundred verses. A complete translation of Candrakirti's commentary remains a desideratum.
Buddhapālita's commentary on the Mūlamadhyamakakārikās was analysed by William L. Ames. In his Ph.D thesis "A Study of the Buddhapālita-Madhyamaka-vrtti" (Australian National University, 1984) Akira Saito translated the entire commentary and edited the Tibetan text. The English translation will be soon published in Delhi. M.D. Eckel translated chapters 18, 24 and 25 and W. Ames chapters 3-5, 23 and 26 of Bhāvaviveka's Prajñāpradīpa in unpublished doctoral dissertations. A complete edition and English translation is being prepared by Eckel and Ames.
Recently Raghunatha Pandeya published a Sanskrit “Reconstruction” of the Akutobhayā, Buddhapālita's Madhyamakavrtti and Bhāvaviveka's Prajñāpradīpavrtti together with an edition of the Prasannapadā which is entirely based on La Vallée Poussin's edition.
Per K. Sørensen edited and translated the Tibetan text of Candrakīrti's Trišaranasaptati. Peter Fenner's work on the ontology of the Middle Way comprises a translation of the verses of the Madhyamakāvatāra. According to an announcement his book addresses two questions: 1.
