lost Pali grammars

One major problem of writing a history of indigeneous Pali grammar and
grammarians is that works written in the early post-Kaccayana period are no
longer extant. If members of the group know of or have heard of ms.s of, or
seen ms. catalogues or even hand lists of Pali grammatical lit. including
the Ma.njuusaa alias Cuu.laniruttiva.n.nanaa, I would appreciate getting the
information. To the best of my knowledge the work was still extant in ms. in
Burma in 18th century, and if the ravages of war and other vicissitudes have
spared the few ms. copies, the likelihood that it is still found somewhere
in Myanmar is not entirely impossible.

Ole Pind
