Subject: New Publication: Dictionary of Pali, Vol 2
Dear Members,
The Pali Text Society is pleased to announce the
publication of Part 2 of Margaret Cone's
Dictionary of Pali covering the letters g-n. This
is a truly significant publication for both Pali
studies and Buddhist studies more generally. The
first volume of Margaret Cone's Dictionary (2001)
covered the letters a-kh, and thus overlapped in
its coverage with the incomplete Copenhagen A
Critical Pali Dictionary (the last fascicle of
which, ending with the letter ka, will be
published later this year). Part 2 of Margaret
Cone's Dictionary of Pali thus represents the
first substantial advance in Pali lexicography
since the early 1920s, when the relevant portion
of T.W. Rhys Davids and W. Stede's Pali-English
Dictionary was published. Two further parts of
this Dictionary are currently being prepared, and
the Dictionary is likely to remain the principal
lexical resource for scholars working with Pali
texts for some generations to come.
ISBN 086013 487 3
List Price £ 40.00
