1896 Kaccayanasuttapatha

Nyanatusita's description below is actually very exciting for me
--this will be a truly worthy "comparative reading" to carry out (even
though it is "just" the Suttapatha).  My own edition will be heavily
footnoted (although most notes will simply describe the differences
between the various editions of the text), and it might be really
wonderful to include a few of the "marginal comments" from
Vajiranyaana among those notes.

Many thanks --I will probably spend many weeks staring at the images
you've produced --although, sadly, it may not be until after I return
from both Canada and Sri Lanka.

the antique Kaccayanasuttapatha edition by Jinaratanatissa of
1896 ... in a leather tome
which originally belonged to Vajira~naana thera, a famous scholar monk
in Sri Lanka. His signature can be seen on the first page of the
Kaccaayanasuttapaatha edition, and his margninal are found throughout
the tome. I will inquire whether the introductions give an indication
about the school affiliations of the editors. If they belong to the
Amarapura Nikaya then it could well be that the text is based on
copies of Burmese MSS. If they belong to the Siam Nikaya then they
might be based on Siamese MSS.
