An introduction (pp. 7–21: “The Place of PVSV 164,24–176,16 in the work of Dharmakirti,” by V. Eltschinger), a synopsis of contents (pp. 23–30) and two independent essays round off the volume. H. Krasser’s “Logic in a Religious Context: Dharmakirti in Defence of agama” (pp. 83–118) sheds new light on Dharmakirti’s conception of scriptural authority and its indebtedness to Dignaga. J. Taber’s “Dharmakirti and the Mimamsakas in Conflict” (pp. 119–149) explores the guiding principles of the Mimamsa system of exegesis and assesses the relevance of Dharmakirti’s arguments against it. A general bibliography and various indices complete the volume.
