For some reason I do not seem to have received any earlier messages
in this thread.
Perhaps it will be helpful to mention the detailed survey in:
Crosby, Kate, "Tantric Theravaada: a bibliographic Essay on the
writings of François Bizot and others on the Yogaavacara Tradition,"
_Contemporary Buddhism. An Interdisciplinary Journal_, 1, 2, 2000,
pp. 141-193.
This is valuable in its own right, but would be particularly useful
to anyone who does not read French.
