  About the Book :- The author of this book is an investigator in that unharnessed field of Buddhism, needs no introduction. His prolegomenon to Buddhaghosa, published over two years ago, in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. In that essay, he drew up a list of 14 questions on his present subject. All were of historical interest. All would have to be discussed in any critical history of this work. He had there no scope to deal with any one of them. Here the titles of his chapters taken together virtually cover those 14 questions. His book will be by no means a last word on the subject. It will be relatively easy for European scholars, less undaunted than the author to carry forward their work `when we get all that has been ascribed to Buddhaghosa printed in Roman letter. But the book is all the more needed now as a very useful compendium of what we yet know of it both from his own works and from other documents. The interpretations provided by Buddhaghosa have constituted the orthodox understanding of Theravada scriptures since at least the 12th century CE. This book talks not only about his life, but also the legends surrounding him, his work, his successors, and his philosophy. It contains three illustrations which the author has preserved from oblivion.
