Dharmottara’s Pramanaviniscayatika Chapter 3: Diplomatic Edition. in Collaboration with Takashi Iwata and Toshiazu Watanabe

This new volume in the STTAR series follows up the publication of the critical edition of the third chapter of Dharmakirti’s Pramanaviniscaya (on argumentation in philosophical debate), which was published in the same series as volume 8 (2011). The current volume presents a diplomatic edition of the Sanskrit text of the corresponding chapter in the commentary by Dharmottara (8th c.), the Pramanaviniscayatika, based on a Photostat copy of an incomplete palm-leaf manuscript in Proto Bengali script. The edition is preceded by an introduction that includes a manuscript description, remarks on the Tibetan translation, a structural analysis with references to the Pramanaviniscaya edition, and indices of names of persons, texts and schools as found in the third chapter of the Pramanaviniscayatika.
