Met Filliozat

Wow! That sounds great (viz., the study of the Abhidhanappadipika)

As you know, I've been considering (eventually) making an edition of
that for a Lao/Khmer audience --but I was rather surprised to find
significant differences between the different S.E. Asian editions
(including differences between various Sinhalese editions).

I met with the Rt. Hon. Mme Filliozat yesterday --my first time seeing
her in the flesh.  We spoke for about two hours on various subjects
relating to Pali MS --including shared complaints about various
libraries in Asia.

Like myself (and unlike McDaniel) she had enormous difficulty in
gaining access to the Bangkok National Library --and was eventually
refused access entirely.
