Hello! This is Samaneri Sobhana at the Bhavana Society in West Virginia,
USA. I have been lurking on this list for a while.

I wonder if anyone can comment on the value of these two books:

Kenai Lal Hazra. 1998. Pali language and literature: a systematic study and
historical study.

K.R. Norman. 1983. Pali Literature: Indluding the Canonical Literature in
Prakrit and Sanskrit of all Hinayana Schools of Buddhism. Wiesbaden:
Harrassowitz.

The question is whether to acquire them for our monastery library.

Thanks.
