I really don't know much (OK, anything) about Indian philosophers or their writings. So how did this Stuttgart translation, dating from 1839, of the works of one BIDPAL find its way to my New Zealand farmhouse?
I suspect my grandfather's family. The Rosenbaum side. They were publishers, and seem to have toyed with Eastern literature ... and one or two asian books seem to lurk still around the house
I also suspect that it might a sort of Thousand and One Nights ... or AEsop's Fables. I don't know.
Well, this one has been read ... and annotated ... I wonder by who....
