Hello Dmytro,

I do have Geiger's book, but was assuming that this "Encyclopaedic
Dictionary of Pali" would be someone more in depth, perhaps even dealing
with particularly problematic or complicated Pali terms in relation to
various sections of the canon and non-canonical commentaries. Is this
indeed the case? I guess it was the notion of this work having "two
volumes" and being "encyclopaedic" that led me to think it may be a somewhat
different kind of work than Geiger's, although a work that would undoubtedly
cover much of the ground that Geiger's work also covered. Do you, or
anyone, know what the case is?

Metta,

Alan
