¹ E. *Leumann*, Maitreya-samiti, das Zukunftsideal der Buddhisten, Strassburg, 1919, gives the text and German translation of the version in the language which he terms "North-Aryan" (called by others "Tokharian"). The Chinese versions by Dharmarakṣa (between 255 and 316 A.D.), by Kumārajīva (about 402 A.D.) and by I-tsing (701 A.D.) have been translated into German by K. *Watanabe* (see *Leumann*, l.c., p. 227 ff.). The Kanjur contains three lives of Maitreya translated from the Sanskrit and one from the Pāli. See H. *Beckh*, Verzeichnis der tibetischen Handschriften, p. 188 f. and E. *Abegg*, Der Messiasglaube in Indien und Iran, Berlin und Leipzig, 1928, p. 132 ff. Fragments in "Tokharian" have been published by E. *Sieg* and W. *Siegling*, Tocharische Sprachreste, I, 107, 119, 125 ff., 155 ff., 164 ff., 254 f. (previously, too, in SBA 1908, 915 ff.), in Uigurian by F. W. K. *Müller* and E. *Sieg* in SBA 1905, p. 958; 1916, 395 ff.
