Hi Jim,

   Sure, I'll try to type out the introductory verse of the .Tiikaa
when I get a chance --but my impression is that (notwithstanding the
diversity of names given to the commentary in question) this is the
only (on the ADP) one that has had an edition in the 20th century
--let alone multiple editions.

   The only other comm. on ADP that is widely available is the
Sinhalese gloss/nissaya (with really "useful" sinhalese translations,
such as repeating the Pali word but with the suffix "-ya" added onto
the end to make it sound like Sinhalese...) --although a more proper
.Tiikaa (per se) from Sri Lanka is also said to exist, but apparently
has not been the subject of a specific study or edition to date --and
likely languishes in MS form.

E.M.
