Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Journal of the Pali Text Society, 1909 The work of the Society has gone steadily on during the past year. We have brought out the remainder of vol i. of the Dhammapada Commentary by Professor Norman, including his introduction to that interesting work. I am glad to see that he practically endorses the opinion I expressed long ago that it is not by Buddhaghosa. An absolutely final decision can only be given when we are able to answer the question: ´Is the vocabulary of its author different, and if so, how far different from that of Buddhaghosa?´ And to answer that question we want more texts and a better dictionary. The greater part of this Journal, the other issue for the year, is occupied, it will be seen, with work preparatory to the Society´s dictionary. Next year´s issues will be the third volume of the Digha, and an index to the five volumes of the Anguttara. Similar indices to the Digha and Majjhima are already being arranged for, and it is hoped to publish, in succession, indices of a similar kind to all the canonical texts. Such indices are really indispensable as preliminary work for the complete dictionary we hope eventually to have, and they will be a constant help to the much needed critical study of the texts themselves. Of course we want other indices. We ought to have, not only indices to all important words in each text, but to each important subject in all the texts.
