Ebook Sayings of Buddha, the Iti-Vuttaka

Extent of the Text. In size the Iti-vuttaka is one of the shortest of the Buddhist books, although it comprises 125 pages in the edition by Windisch, in the Pali Text Society Publications, London, 1890. This edition is the only Occidental one, and it furnishes the text on which this translation is based. In this admirable work of Windisch, only about two thirds of each page is taken up by the text proper, the other third being taken up by the editor's summary of the variant readings.
