LANMAN. — PALI BOOK-TITLES. 705 



Udana. — Steinthal designates his Burmese ms. by A ; his Cinga- 

 lese mss. by B and I) ; and his ms. of the commentary by C. 



Iti-vuttaka. — Windisch enumerates his mss. very properly in two 

 distinct series, and his first Burmese ms. is called B and his first 

 Cingalese ms., C ; but he has not carried out this good beginning. 



Sutta-nipata. — Fausboll's edition is not mentioned here as an 

 instance of confusion, but rather by way of calling attention to his 

 admirable procedure described above, p. 702. 



Peta-vatthu. — Minayeff uses B for his Burmese ms., and C, D, C 1 , 

 D 1 for his Cingalese. 



Thera-gatha, Therl gatha. — In the prior text, the Burmese mss. are 

 A and B, and the Cingalese are C and D. In the latter, the Burmese 

 mss. are B, L (London), P (Paris), and C (commentary) ; and the 

 Cingalese ms. is S (Subhuti). 



Jataka. — As early as 1877 Fausboll used the excellent method de- 

 scribed above, p. 702. In his preliminary remarks to vol. 4 (1887), he 

 gives B, C, and S as the proper abbreviations for Burmese, Cingalese, 

 and Siamese ; and in vol. 5, a Siamese ms. is cited in the notes as S dr . 



Patiaambhida-magga. — Fausboll's good example is wholly disre- 

 garded. Burmese is M (Mandalay) ; Cingalese is S ; and (as in Dlgha 

 II.) Siamese is K. 



Vinaya. — The designations of the London ed. (1879-1883) vary by 

 volumes, and so perplexingly as to baffle even a good memory. If, in 

 designating the editions of the Maha-bharata, we called the Bombay 

 edition C and the Calcutta edition B, we might remember it as a case 

 of contraries ; but not even that unhappy makeshift will serve us here, 

 as the table shows. 



Vibhanga. — Here, as in Dlgha II., Burmese is B, Cingalese is S, and 

 Siamese is K (Kambodian). 



Katha-vatthu. — Burmese is M (Mandalay) ; Cingalese is S for palm- 

 leaf mss., and P for the paper ms. (cp. p. 699, note, above), and (as in 

 Dlgha II.) Siamese is K. 



Patthana. — The Burmese authorities are B and R (the Rangoon 

 print) ; Cingalese is S ; and Siamese (again : Behold how great a mat- 

 ter a little fire kindleth !) is K.
