Re: Abhidhaanappadiipikaa, 1865 edn.

 

Dear members,

The Abhidhānappadīpikā dates back to the 12th cent. and remains a very
useful dictionary even to this day. It is only today that I made this
wonderful discovery of a very old 1865 edition by W. Subhūti of Sri Lanka.
It's a small book of about xxii + 68 pages.

It can be downloaded from this webpage:

See below for what's on the title page. The script used for displaying the
Pali is in Singhalese. The preface is in English and Singhalese. The
Abhidhānappadīpikā and its ṭīkā can also be found in the CST4 set of texts
and elsewhere.

Best wishes,

Jim
