Asoka: The Buddhist Emperor of India. E-book. Formato PDF ebook di Vincent A. Smith

During the ten years elapsed since the publication of the second edition of this book knowledge of the subject has made material advances. I have read everything printed that could be of use and am in a position to offer considerable improvements in the versions of the inscriptions, which are now fully understood, with small exceptions. Chapters IV and V have been rewritten, continuous comments on each document or group of documents being substituted for footnotes. The Maski Minor Rock Edict, the latest addition to the collection of edicts, which alone gives Asoka's name, -is duly noticed, and the Gora thagiri labels on the Barabar rocks have not been overlooked.
