Dear Petra,
thank you very much for your helpful information; I am following up some of
your suggestions. Another Pali Study Group member also responded to me
offline and directed my attention to the section in B. C. Law's work (1923)
on Buddhaghosa, where Law discusses the question of the 'Poraa.nas' cited in
Vism, and this basically fits with what you have said here.
Best wishes,
Khristos
