Pahlavi Texts, Part IV: Contents of the Nasks — SBE Vol. 37 (trans. E. W. West, 1892)

9, 10, for ‘the Iranian nationality (Airih)’ read ‘subjection (hérih)’

P. 186, I]. 19, 20, for ‘ preparation’ read ‘ bespattering ’

In several places it would be better to read 4mfik3, ‘ teaching,’ instead of ham6-kun, ‘every kind (or mode),’ so as to obtain the following amended passages :—

P. 23, ll. 14-16. Then the exalting chanted teaching of AGharmazd for
Zaratfist is called, &c.

P. 24, 1. 1, the teaching for Kai-Vistasp; &c.

P. 114, Il. 15-18, the meritoriousness in the guardianship and teaching dy the keepers of those flocks; the happy effect of the flock and that of the keeper’s teaching ; &c.

» ll. 23-28, that of the disciple through the teaching by the priestly instructor ; the teaching of the priestly instructor for the pupil, and the happy effect of the priestly instructor’s teaching in similar matters.

P. 119, ll. 2-5, the want of eminence of any one through a teaching that is an offence to others, which is owing to his closed doors and evil eminence in teaching ; &c.

Professor Darmesteter has suggested the following correction :—

P. 26, Il. 22, 23, for ‘based upon the traditional early law (vasarid pésdidd)’ read ‘dependent upon Viégeréd the Pésdadian ;’ [who was the twin brother of Héshing; see Sachau’s Albitfini’s Chronology of Ancient Nations, pp. 206, 211].

TRANSLITERATION OF ORIENTAL ALPHABETS.

SACRED BOOKS OF THE EAST

TRANSLATED BY VARIOUS ORIENTAL SCHOLARS

AND EDITED BY

THE RIGHT HON. F. MAX MULLER.

*," This Series is published with the sanction and co-operation of the Secretary of . State for India in Council.

REPORT presented to the ACADEMIN DHS INSCRIPTIONS, May 11,
1883, by M. ERNEST RENAN.

‘M. Renan présente trois nouveaux volumes de la grande collection des ‘‘ Livres sacrés de l’Orient” (Sacred Books of the East), que dirige 4 Oxford, avec une si vaste érndition et une critique si sfire, le savant associé de l’Académie des Inscriptions, M. Max Miiller.... La premiére série de ce beau recueil, composée de 24 volumes, est presque achevée. M. Max Miiller se propose d’en publier une seconde, dont l'intérét historique et religienx ne sera pas moindre. M. Max Miller a su se procurer la collaboration des savans les plus éminens d’Europe et d’Asie. L’Université d’Oxford, que cette grande publication honore au plus haut egré, doit tenir 4 continuer dans les plus larges proportions une ceuvre aussi philosophiqnement congue que savamment exécutée.’

BXTRACT from the QUARTERLY REVIEW.

“We rejoice to notice that a second series of these translations has been announced and has actually begun to appear. The stones, at least, out of which a stately edifice may hereafter arise, are here being bronght together. Prof. Max Miiller has deserved well of scientific history. Not a few minds owe to his enticing words their first attraction to this branch of study. But no work of his, not even the great edition of the Rig-Veda, can compare in importance or in usefulness with this English translation of the Sacred Books of the East, which has been devised by his foresight, successfully brought so far by his persuasive and organising power, and will, we trust, by the assistance of the distinguished scholars he has gathered round him, be carried in due time to a happy completion.’

Professor B. HARDY, Inaugural Lecture in the University of Freiburg, 1887.

‘Die allgemeine vergleichende Religionswissenschaft datirt von jenem grossartigen, in seiner Art eimzig dastehenden Unternehmen, zu welchem auf Anregung Max Miillers im Jahre 1874 auf dem internationalen Orientalistencongress in London der Grundstein gelegt worden war, die Ubersetzung der heiligen Biicher des Ostens’ (the Sacred Books of the East).

The Hon. ALBERT 8S. G. CANNING, ‘Words on Bxisting Religions.’

The recent publication of the ‘ Sacred
Books of the East” in English is surely

a great event in the annals of theological literature.’

The Upanishads contain the philosophy of the Veda. They have become the foundation of the later Vedénta doctrines, and indirectly of Buddhism. Schopenhauer, speaking of the Upanishads, says: ‘In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life, it will be the solace of my death.
