Preface to the Electronic Edition
The text that follows is substantially a transcription of the translation
of Jatakamālā made by J. S. Speyer and published originally in 1895
under the title Garland of Birth Stories. In preparing this edition I
have made some small changes, mainly in presentation, so as to make
the text more readable, which I will outline here.
These include splitting paragraphs which were very long in the
original publication; removing opening quotation marks from each
new paragraph when the speech is continued (an old practice now
largely abandoned); reformatting for clarity, especially in regard to
distinguishing between verse and prose; changing Roman numerals to
the more familiar Arabic; and exchanging the written “&c.” with “and
so on”, which is how I have read it in the audio recordings which
accompany this text.
I have also occasionally corrected spelling mistakes found in the text,
though there were very few of these; I have taken some words into the
footnotes, mainly where the Sanskrit had been included in brackets;
and conversely brought matter back into the text from the footnotes,
when it was originally part of the text.
While reading the text in for the audio recordings it became clear that
the punctuation in the original printing was sometimes quite
misleading, and in the later stories I started to correct this, but I have
not been as consistent as I would have liked to be.
The page numbers from the text (which is reproduced from Motilal
Banarsidass' 1990 edition) have been entered in square brackets for
reference purposes.
