A Handbook of Pali Literature
Format:Paperback
Publisher:De Gruyter
Currently unavailable, and unfortunately no date known when it will be back
The Handbook surveys the whole of Pali Theravada Buddhist literature (Ceylon, South East Asia). It reviews previous research in the field, and then concentrates on new methodological approaches and a treatment of later Pali literature (after the twelfth century).
"In sum, this handbook represents a major contribution to the field. It will not only be invaluable as a reference work for scholars, but it should engender a new enthusiasm for the study of Pali literature, as it holds out the promise of a rich and interesting trove of material waiting to be explored."George Bond in: Journal of the American Oriental Society 1/1998
