Le Coq\* (SBA 1909, p. 1205) that the Buddha legend was first brought to Europe, not by Christians, but by Manicheans. The actual author of the story, however, can only have been a Christian, as the doctrines contained in the book are specially Christian. It was just as possible for Christians to become acquainted with the subject as it was for Manicheans. - [Previous: v2.c19.s7.54](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s7.54) - [Next: v2.c19.s7.56](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s7.56) - [Up: v2.c19.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s7.55](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.literature.winternitz-1927.v2.c19.s7.55) · Pramāṇa
