Dear All,
Florent has got hold of the Niruttisaarama~njuusaa.tiikaa in Myanmar. He is
in the process of photographing its 550 pages. He has already sent me a few
pages and as I read through them, I'm starting to wonder if this is a
.tiikaa on the Niruttisaarama~njuusaa rather than the Niruttisaarama~njuusaa
itself. The latter is a commentary on the Mukhamattadiipanii or Nyaasa.
There is no mention of a .tiikaa on the Niruttisaarama~njuusaa in the
bibliography of CPD. My question is: are the Niruttisaarama~njuusaa and the
Niruttisaarama~njuusaa.tiikaa the same work or two separate works.
The following is Florent's quick translation of some information on the
title page:
Year 1010 (AD 1648) | city of Sagaing
Written by Saddhammasiri mahaathera - during the rule of king Thalun -
receiver of the title "daa.thaanaagaraajaguru"
Printed under the supervision of the great Pali teacher U Phye
Yangon city
25th street | Sasodan | building # 17-18
Pyi Kyi Mandain Tipitaka Press
1275 (AD 1913)| month of Wagaung (2nd month of vassa)
Best wishes,
Jim
