Dear All,
Justin McDaniel here, new member. I have a large collection of
Thai editions (vernacular and Pali in Thai script) of various
Pali grammatica. Phra Sompong at Mahachulalongkorn University
(student of Phra Dhammanando of Wat Tha Ma O) has produce many
of the best ones recently. When I return to my office, from
Boston and London, I can send a list in a couple weeks. I
recently wrote a draft of an article about the Thai editions
and Thai tradition of Pali grammatica. After I fix a couple
of problems that E.M. pointed out, I can send the draft to
anyone interested.
Best,
justin
