Subject: New publication

Dear Members of the PTS,

We are pleased to announce the publication of a new book:

Paramatthadipani III (Vimanavatthu Commentary), 2016, ed. P. Jackson, Index
by Y. Ousaka

ISBN-10 0 86013 514 4
ISBN-13 978 0 86013 514 2

List price: £ 60.00

The Pali Text Society's editions of the Vimanavatthu and the Petavatthu
commentaries have been out of print for some years. These editions first
published in 1901 and 1894 respectively were considered too flawed to keep
in print.
Peter Jackson has prepared a new edition of the Vimanavatthu commentary
(Paramatthadipani III) using the Burmese Sixth Council edition and collating
variant readings from the original PTS edition by E. Hardy (1901), the
Sinhala-script edition published as part of the Simon Hewavitarne Bequest
Series, and the BUDSIR electronic text (apparently based on the Thai-script
Mahaculalankaranarajavidyalaya edition). Variant readings found in the notes
of all these editions are also included. Page breaks and the line breaks of
the Hardy edition are kept as far as possible to facilitate finding
references to page and line numbers. A complete word index prepared by
Professor Yumi Ousaka is also included.
