The Jataka - Volume II
tr. W.H.D. Rouse (ed. E. B. Cowell)
This is the second of six volumes of the complete Jataka translation. Additional volumes are under preparation, and will appear in the near future.
The Jataka is a huge collection of fables framed as previous incarnations of the Buddha, many of which either have parallels or derivatives in western folklore and literature. Although the Jataka is not considered part of the canonical Buddhist scripture, it is very popular.
