________________ Introductory essay and tools by Nalini Balbir p. 69 [25 n. *]: Leumann contributed various additions to Jacobi's work on the Parisiṣṭaparvan. p. 75 [27° n. 1] See above the note on [236 n. 2] for the full bibliographical references of these two articles by Hoernle. p. 75 [27 n. 2] "Tawney's translation of Kathasaritsagara": C.H. Tawney, The Ocean of Story, London, 1880; 2nd ed. with notes and appendices by N.M. Penzer, 10 vols., London, 1924-28. p. 75 [27 n. 5] "Sergius von Oldenburg...": S.F. Oldenburg, "On the Buddhist Jātakas" (written in October 1892), Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society 25, 1893, pp. 301-356. Sergej F. Oldenburg (1863-1934) was a Russian scholar who taught at the University of St Petersburg (where he had also studied with I.P. Minaev and V.P. Vasiliev) and was a member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences of Russia. His main achievements concern the field of Buddhist literature and archaeology, but, like several scholars of his time, his curiosity and writings go much beyond. Jain literature was also among his concerns. p. 76 [28] Additional information in the unpublished additions to the Übersicht (Plutat 1998: No. 180): Leumann quotes two gāthās from Klatt's contribution in Indian Antiquary 11, p. 247 and 252, which show that the tradition gives several dates for arya Rakṣita. These verses state that he introduced the caitya-vāsa 620 years after Mahāvīra. p. 77 [28a, note *] Note 1: "more about this later in Aradhana-story 8": not available in the printed portion of the Übersicht. Reference is to the serial-number of the story in Brahma Nemidatta's Ārādhanākathākośa (see above note on p. [117]). It deals with the character of Uddayana. p. 77 [28, note *] Note *: "Padmamandira's versification": see above note on p. [246 n. *]. p. 78 [2847] "Ind. Stud. XVII 92-94 & 130" refers to Leumann's study of the narrative accounts of the schisms: see Introductory essay above and below Appendix VIII (Leumann's bibliography) for full references. p. 79 [2945-46] "for which Jolly has kindly offered his help": Julius Jolly (1849-1932), who was professor in Würzburg, "contributed extensively to Indian law and medicine" (Stache-Weiske 1990: 110). In particular, he was the author of two classics for the collection "Encyclopedia of Indo-Aryan Research" ("Grundriss der IndoArischen Philologie und Althertumskunde") in these two areas of Indology: Indian Medicin (1901) which is still partly unsurpassed and Recht und Sitte (1896). The latter, to which Leumann refers a little later (p. 80 [29°13]) is a survey of Dharmaśāstra made on the basis of legal commentaries, old travel accounts, etc. It was revised by the author and translated into English by Balakrishna Ghosh as Hindu Law and Custom (1928, The Greater India Society Publications, vol. 2).
