A

Survey

of

the

Kammavaca-

Manuscripts

in

Pali

Kept

in

French

Public

Collections

Jacqueline

The

jhanzmavdcdi,

literally

"words of acts" are ritualrecitalscontaining

Pali

_fbrmulas

used

by

the

Buddhist

monks of the

Theravada

schools at

various ceremonies and

disciplinary

_proceedings

concerning monks and

theircommunity.

Since

the end of the

18th

century most _of the

_great

Oriental

libraries

in

Europe

have

collected splendid

richly

decorated

Pali

Kbmmava-ca

manuscripts

from

Burma

in

their

so-called cabinets of curiosities: they are

made ofvarious materials such as the classical

_palm

leaves(i),

brass,

copper,

stiffkned cloth(2),and even

ivory

for

the

best

ones,

inscribed

with

lac

on

precious

plates

lacquered,

gilded

or silvered, sometimes

inlaid

with

mother-ofpearl,

_protected

with wooden

lacquered

decorated

covers or

finely

carved.

Complete

manuscripts are rare, they range

from

11

up

to

18

fblios

depending

on the size of the

_plates,

the amount of

lines,

from

3

to

7,

and the

length

of chapters considered.

They

have

been

_generally

dismembered

during

auctions sales to

_please

a

larger

number of amateurs who

ignore

themeaning of the texts,using them as artefacts, they are not aware ofthe sacred canonical words content.

The

British

Islesand the

German

collections are

keeping

the

_greater

number of valuable copies

in

Europe.

The

large

collections

kept

in

Burma

and

Thailand

monasteries, museums and

libraries

or exhibited

by

dealers

beauty

of their

scholars are welcomed and encouraged to study

in

the

Thai

Mon

museum

of the

Paramayikavat,

Kokret,

Pakret

in

Nonthaburi

near

Bangkok

and

in

the

Vat

Muang

Folk

Museum

organised

by

Silpakorn

University,

Bangkok,

which

is

keeping

themost

beautifu1

copy

known

tome(4).

The

various

texts

of

Kammavaca

are supposed well

known

since

a

long

time

in

Eurepe

through a

large

amount of editions, translations

and studies(5),

in

fact,

when cataloging the

French

collections of

Pali

Kammavdicdi,

I

had

difficulties

to

identify

some of them

in

order to

_give

a concordance to

_printed

editions.

The

order of chapters

is

not

invariably

fixed,

even

in

the manuscripts copied at the same

_period

in

the same

region attesting the same writing style and

decoration.

Variant

readings

according to

different

recensions are so many

that

I

eannot

find

exact

words concordance

between

manuscripts and editions,

Europeans

as well

Burmese,

Singhalese,

Siamese

or

Khmer.

A

meticulous study of every

manuscript

in

_particular

could

help

to

begin

a satisfactory classification of

the

Kbmmavdica

as they really stand, taking

into

account allvariant readings

existing and start critical editions

for

each traditionaccording to

the

epoch of

the

copy

in

its

_proper

_geographical

area.

Colophens

in

vernacular

languages,

woven ribbons

(saz)lgyo)

fastening

the

plates(6)

should

be

deciphered

showing names of scribes,

donors,

monasteries, cities,

villages-when reported-.

They

have

to

be

noted

in

index

and compared with the

lists

already

_published

in

the excellent catalogues

fbr

German

or

Danmark

collections(7).

For

catalogers of manuscripts

the

habit

is

to

refer

to

the

various

formulas

in

counting them

into

theorder

_generally

used

in

European

editions established once

fbr

ever.

Because

most manuscripts open with

the

Cipasampado,

this

formula

takes

number

1,

but

it

is

nota standard norm,

it

just

indicates

thatthesemanuscripts

have

been

copied

for

the special use of

a monk ordination.

Let

us now explore collections ofKbmmavacj

kept

in

France.

More

thatone

hundred

original manuscripts of ]dammava'cd copied

in

5

among

the

1349

manuscripts

housed

in

the

French

museums and

libraries

public

collections.

They

have

been

recently systematically catalogued

but

neither

_yet

studied nor critically edited, except one

by

Eugene

Bumouf

in

1826

with the

help

of thescholars

Charles

Lassen

and

Frangois

Bopp(8).
