A Textual Study of the Pali Manuscript "Pannasajataka" kept in Otani University Library

我们的研究旨在对大谷大学图书馆收藏的东南亚佛教手稿中最有价值的一系列手稿--《大谷手稿五十本》进行文献学和系统的研究。在这五十本手稿中，大谷棕叶手稿中有26个故事。我们还从调查员田边博士带来的曼谷国家图书馆手稿中获得了一系列Pannasajataka的缩微胶片。在此基础上，我们在调查人员和合作人员的帮助下取得了以下结果：1)我们将大谷棕榈叶Pannasajataka音译成罗马字符，并将其中九个故事制作成工作文本，与曼谷国家图书馆手稿中的文本进行比较。不同的读数记录在脚注中。我们还对一些故事进行了尝试性的翻译。2)收集了高棉文本生本研究的新材料。3)口述文学作品，特别是泰国本生本与大谷巴利文手稿的关系研究。4)对大谷大学易碎棕榈叶保存佛学文献负责人、去年我们邀请到我校的巴利语手稿研究员彼得·斯基林先生的论文进行了日文翻译。5)我们从泰语和英语翻译了关于Pannasajataka的重要研究的精选章节。6)我们每个月都会召开研修会。我们把以上结果综合在一起，作为本研究报告提交。

Our research is intended as a philological and systematic study of a series of manuscripts called Pannasajatake (fifty Jataka), one of the most valuable manuscripts in the enormous collection of the Southeast Asian Buddhist palm-leaf manuscripts kept in Otani University Library.Among these fifty jatakas, twenty-six stories are found in the Otani palm-leaf manuscripts. We also have obtained some series of microfilms of the Pannasajataka from the Bangkok National Library manuscripts that investigator Dr. Tanabe brought.Based on them, we have achieved following results with the help of investigators and cooperators.1) We transliterated Otani palm-leaf Pannasajataka into Roman characters and made a working text of nine stories of them comparering with texts found in the Bangkok National Library manuscripts. Variant readings are recorded in footnotes.
