Tipitaka queries

Dear Members,
One of our members, Ole Holten Pind, is seeking information on
libraries that have the Pegu edition of the Tipitaka. This is related
to work on the CPD. The following is what Ole wrote:
<< I am trying to find information on libraries that might have copies
of the Burmese Pegu edition of the Pali canon. According to my
information it was published by the Hanthawaddy Press ca. 1890-1900.
Thus, it is earlier than the present chattasangayana edition, and
presumably differs from it on some points, although no one knows
exactly on which. If you have any information on this valuable edition
I would very much appreciate to have it. >>
Also, does anyone know where one could acquire a complete set of the
digital images of the Tipitaka engraved on 729 marble slabs that are
based on the revision of the 5th Council held at Mandalay in 1871? It
is believed that the widow of the late Dr. Primoz Pecenko has such a
set. Does anyone know how to contact her?
Best wishes,
Jim
