bodhisattva/bodhisatva

[Walter Slaje]

> Dear Victor,
> Everyone, including you, has spelt 'bodhisattva'. All the manuscripts i have consulted read 'bodhisatva'! I wonder if anyone has given a thought to if the latter is not incorrect?  DB

Ego ex animi mei sententia spondeo ac polliceor
me studia humanitatis impigro labore culturum et provecturum
non sordidi lucri causa nec ad vanam captandam gloriam,
sed quo magis veritas propagetur et lux eius, qua salus
humani generis continetur, clarius effulgeat.
