Hello,
I have two questions about publications:
(1) This may seem rather obvious, but I realized today that I do not have
any publication data for any Burmese edition(s) of Kacc. As I'll soon have
a Thai edition to balance my exposure to Sinhalese and Lao sources, I should
probably start looking for a Burmese edition of some kind. There are a
surprising number of catalogued Burmese MS of Kacc. in europe --however, I
wonder how many of them are correctly catalogued (i.e., source-text vs.
nissaya, etc.).
(2) If anyone has ever seen a publication with a title along the lines of
"Mon-English Grammar", I would very much like to hear about it. I read
(very vaguely) that an award was given for a Thai university to publish a
grammar of the Mon language (and a "Mon-English" grammar --yet more
surprising for Thai academia) but I have never seen any sign of it --nor do
I know any more than this.
E.M.
