Buddhist Birth-Stories This essays and the following translation were published in1880 as a volume in Trubner's Oriental Series. That volume contained, further,the beginning of a much longer work, namely the translation of the so-calledJataka. This is a collection of more than 550 folklore tales whichforms part of the Buddhist canonical scriptures. The tales are in prose, eachexplaining a much more ancient poem of two or more lines. The allusions in theverses cannot be understood without the explanation given in the prose. Over andabove this explanation there is added to each story an episode said to be fromthe life of the founder of what is now called Buddhism.
