Dear Pali friends,

Some references for you:
1. Digital Comparative Catalogue of the Paali-Chinese Aagama Literature
by Marcus Bingenheimer
This catalogue is a digital reworking of the catalogues published by M. Anesaki (1908) and Chizen Akanuma (1928). It is they who, over the course of many years, have worked out the parallels and correspondences between the two text corpora.

3. someone did a comparison research between the Paali Sa.myutta-nikaaya (SN) and its counterpart in Chinese canon, a translation of a now lost Sanskrit Sa.myuktaagama (Za-ahan-jing) (SA).

Hope this helps.
