Re: is rett_thiele signed up?

Dear members,

Rett mistakenly sent this message to the list instead of just to me.
This made me realize the potential for this to happen when you have
two similar looking email addresses along with the automatic address
fill-in of software programming. In order to avoid this confusion when
writing an offlist message to me, you could just use my usual email
address: jimanderson_on@... instead of palistudy@... .
Either address is ok with me but be careful with the second one. On
another note, you cannot access the palistudy Yahoogroups home page
unless you sign in with a Yahoo ID which you can get for free. I
encourage you all to have the access so you can read old messages in
the archives and be able to download grammatical files as they become
available in the future.

I think that before I continue with Kc 2, I should first prepare a
palistudy edition of the first ka.n.da of 11 suttas and commentary
along with the two introductory verses for you to have on hand when
following our study. In my approach, I think it is very important to
have the best text possible in terms of quality and reliability. I
have a printed Burmese copy and 2 etext versions to work with but this
is really not enough. If any of you have a different printed copy, it
would be much appreciated if you could check it against what I submit
to this group for careful study. Rett and I were discussing Senart's
ed. of Kaccayana and how hard it is to get access to. Rett said there
was a copy at Uppsala University and I discovered that U of Toronto
has an 1871 copy which I'm thinking of checking out this summer.
Here's some information about the book:

Personal Author  Kaccaayana.
Title  Kaccaayana et la littérature grammaticale du paali. Ire partie.
Grammaire paalie de Kaccaayana: suuras et commentaire, publiés avec
une traduction et des notes par M.E. Senart.
Publication info  Paris Impr. nationale 1871
Physical descrip  338p.
Subject  Pali language--Grammar.
Added author  Senart, E. (Emile), 1847-1928.

I wonder if there is even another one like it in Roman script. I
understand that O. Pind is currently preparing a new edition which I'm
looking very forward to. I'm quite interested in buying traditional
Pali grammatical and related treatises in print and available for
mail-order purchase. If any of you can help me find where I can buy
such books in any script, that would be truly wonderful! Perhaps those
of you who live in Thailand may be able to help in this regard. I also
happen to think that having this know-how will be beneficial should
any of you become as interested as I am in getting a hold of these
rare birds.

Best wishes,
Jim
