Gandhavaṃsa
TextUne œuvre pālie tardive composée en Birmanie par un ancien forestier nommé Nandapañña, relatant brièvement l’histoire du canon pāli et de la littérature pālie postcanonique de Birmanie et du Sri Lanka.
A late Pāḷi work written in Burma.
It relates, in brief, the history of the Pāḷi Canon and gives accounts of post-canonical Pāḷi books written in Burma and Sri Lanka.
The colophon states that the work was composed by a forest-dwelling elder named Nandapañña. At the end of each chapter the work is referred to as Cullagandhavaṃsa; perhaps what we have now is an abridged edition of a larger work.
The work is published in J.P.T.S., 1886, pp.55-80.
