              Part of Papers of Daniel John Gogerly

              The sub-series contains 12 numbered notebooks with Gogerly's translations of various jātaka stories. It seems that the collection is not complete as some of the notebooks are missing. In Theravāda Buddhism, the jātakas (c. 4th century BCE) are a textual division of the Pāli Canon, included in the Khuḍḍaka Nikāya ('Minor Collection') of the Sutta Piṭaka - the second group of the Pāli collection of Buddhist writings. The term mainly refers to the stories of Gautama Buddha's previous lives, in both human and animal form.

              Part of Papers of Daniel John Gogerly

              The manuscript is an original Gogerly translation of the Thūpavaṃsa chronicle. Written in July of 1850, in Sri Lanka (Ceylon). It contains 16 bound pages, and seems to be only a small piece of a full document, which was attempted for publication. Translated from Pāli or Sinhalese to English. Written on both sides in brown ink. Slightly fragile. The Thūpavaṃsa narrates the history of the relics of Śākyamuni Buddha, and contains a rich depiction of the institutionalisation of the Buddha-Śāsana in Ceylon during the reigns of kings Aśoka and Devanampiyatissa, as well as the construction of relic monuments by the later king Duṭṭhagāmaṇī. The central focus of this work concerns the variety of relics associated with the historical Buddha, particularly how the relics were acquired and the presumed benefits of venerating them. Approx. 31.7cmX21.7cm.

              This series contains four manuscripts related to Gogerly's translation of the Thūpavaṃsa chronicle. The Thūpavamsa, composed by Parākama Pandita in thirteenth-century Sri Lanka, is an important example of a Buddhist chronicle written in the vernacular Sinhalese language. The text is also among those works that inform public discussion and debate over the place of Buddhism in the Sri Lankan nation state.
