This "Fourth" Vism (Nyanamoli) edition is certainly the best I've seen so
far, not only with the totally new digital typeset, but with footnotes
rather than troublesome endnotes.

However, there is a mystery about this new edition. I have a "Fifth" edition
(dated 1991) printed by Karunaratne & Son in Colombo. Its print is much
clearer than this 2010 ed. It follows the old format. I wonder if this is
the "lost" digital version mentioned in our edition here, which is given as
the 4th ed (2010). This is going to be confusing for the librarians. Anyway,
it remains that we have a more readable 2010 edition here.

What does "Himi" at the end of Buddhaghosa and Nyanamoli's names mean?

With metta,

Piya Tan
