The eighth book of the Aṅguttara Nikāya, the Collection of the Numbered Discourses of the Buddha, collects 627 suttas or discourses whose subject matter centers on groups of eight topics, though not always. This book contains a remarkable accumulation of important suttas, some of them unique, which makes it indispensable, in contrast to the anodyne lack of interest of the previous books of this Numeric Collection. Even so, it is not understandable that at the end of the book there are suttas that repeat previous ones with inappreciable differences. This book contains a famed sutta that is completely false: AN 8.51 with Gotamī. It contains the sad story of an orphaned Buddha nursed by his aunt which serves as a way for its misogynistic author to interpose limits on women. The plot features, of course, the servant Ānanda manipulating the Buddha into accepting the ordination of women. It has all the components of the false suttas. For example, an overrated Ānanda appears, a story that contradicts all the suttas that speak of the bodhisatta's renunciation, when the mother and father dismiss him with teary eyes. Or in this same collection, in AN 8.70 Earthquakes, where the Māra reminds the Buddha while demanding him to extinguish himself: Lord, you once made this statement, "Evil one, I will not be completely extinguished until I have no female bhikkhunīs disciples who are competent, educated, confident, wise....". The order of bhikkhunīs is one of the four missions that the Buddha had from the beginning. And misogyny, as we already know, is another constant in the false suttas. The danger of larceny by the rulers reappears here up to three times: AN 8.54 and AN 8.55 and AN 8.76. The section of outstanding suttas is truly extensive: AN 8.11, the Buddha is an abortionist. AN 8.42, contains an exhaustive list of the 16 countries in India at the time. AN 8.10 and AN 8.20 relate expulsions of bhikkhus by force. AN 8.13 and AN 8.14, in them the Buddha exhibits an outstanding knowledge of horse-taming, which helps to fix his Scythian sākka origin. The horse-loving Scythians were the pioneers in their taming. AN 8.19 a most beautiful description of Nibbāna. AN 8.21 describes Ugga, an amazing layman. AN 8.29 describes missed opportunities for practice and to AN 8.63 which is a complete but brief compilation of practice. In short, this time the arduous and exhaustive work of research and reconstruction in comparative linguistics has a prize, an important one.

This book is a collection of chapters describing work carried out as part of a large project at BT Laboratories to study the application of connectionist methods to problems in vision, speech and natural language processing. Also, since the theoretical formulation and the hardware realization of neural networks are significant tasks in themselves, these problems too were addressed. The book, therefore, is divided into five Parts, reporting results in vision, speech, natural language, hardware implementation and network architectures. The three editors of this book have, at one time or another, been involved in planning and running the connectionist project. From the outset, we were concerned to involve the academic community as widely as possible, and consequently, in its first year, over thirty university research groups were funded for small scale studies on the various topics. Co-ordinating such a widely spread project was no small task, and in order to concentrate minds and resources, sets of test problems were devised which were typical of the application areas and were difficult enough to be worthy of study. These are described in the text, and constitute one of the successes of the project.
