The Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophies v7.c41.2

v7.c41.2

This work was first edited by Richard Morris for the Pali Text Society, London in 1883, and again with an edition of Buddhaghoṣa’s commentary by Georg Landsberg and Carolyn Rhys Davids in the Journal of the Pali Text Society for 1913–14, pp. 170–254. Still another edition is by Mahesh Tiwari, in The Pañcappakaraṇa-Aṭṭhakathā (Patna 1968). However, in the “E” references to follow we refer to the edition by J. Kashyap from Nalanda, 1960. The work has been translated by Nyanatiloka into German as Das Buch der Charaktere (Breslau 1980) and by Bimala Churn Law into English as A Designation of Human Types (Pali Text Society Translation Series 12, London 1924). It is this latter translation that is indicated by “T” below. There is also a Japanese translation by Tomotsugu Hiramatsu in Nanden Daizokyo, volume 47. The work has been summarized by Kashyap and by Tiwari in their respective editions above.
