Dear Lance and group,
I'm not sure what conclusions we can draw from those dates (1938-52),
since the PTS _List of Issues_ has the Saddhammappakaasinii coming
out in three volumes over the years 1933-47. This certainly rules out
the first volume, but could he have contributed a transcription to
the preparation of one or both of the later volumes?
Does anyone know which volume the reference to the 'penniless monk'
occurs in? Is it in a dated introduction, or in the main text of one
of the volumes? When did the volume with that reference come out?
best regards,
