It is possible for us to extract from Buddhist Literature, and especially from the Vinaya, a core of ancient texts, and reach - by comparing the various editings, in particular of the works of the Vinaya -- a conclusion, approximate at least, concerning the extent of this core and the date which may be assigned to its first editing. This is the problem which the A. has set himself to solve, and for which he suggests an acceptable solution, after acutely investigating the matter.
