Daniel Boucher
(5) Gandhari and the early Chinese Buddhist translations reconsidered: the
case of the Saddharmapundarikasutra. JAOS 118,4 Oct 1998:471-473(?).
This is essential reading on the serious problems (mispellings,
misreadings, etc) that the early translators of the Prakrit (Gandhari)
texts had in China. Boucher focusses on Dharmaraksa as an example.
