Description:

Jataka stories or birth-legends were widely known in the third century B.C. Each story, narrated by the Buddha, opens with a preface realting the particular circumstances in the Buddha's life, revealing some events in the long series of his pervious existence as a bodhisattva. These stories magnify the glory of the Buddha and illustrate Buddhist doctrines and precepts by appropriate examples. First published 1895-1907/1990.
From a European private collection, acquired before 2007
