Re: Scans of the original Burmese Chattha Sangayana Tipitaka

Browsing through their site (a task in itself...) I found they have
indeed put their version, the "World Tipitaka" on line:

http://studies.worldtipitaka.org/

They claim that:

In the Buddhist Era 2542 (1999) the M.L. Maniratana Bunnag Dhamma
Society Fund under the Patronage of His Holiness Somdet Phra
Ñaṇasaṃvara, the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand, initiated the
Commemorative Pāḷi Tipiṭaka Project, upon request from abroad, to
support the printing of the sacred texts of the Buddha’s word in Roman
script.

The complete 40-volume Romanised edition of the 25-century old teaching
of the Buddhist Theravāda tradition in the orthodox and original Pāḷi
language has never been published before anywhere in the world.

This manuscript, known as the Chaṭṭhasaṅgīti Council Edition, the
Pāḷi-language text in Burmese Script, was the result of the only Great
International Council convened in B.E. 2500 (1956) at Yangon by 2,500
erudite Theravāda Buddhist monks from all over the world...
