ဝိနည်းသင်္ဂြိုဟ်အဋ္ဌကထာနိဿယ

A bilingual translation of Sāriputta's Vinayasaṅgaha or Pāḷimuttakavinayavinicchayasaṅgaha, a twelth-century Sinhalese handbook on monastic discipline. Vinayasaṅgaha presented the explanations of the rules of training adapted mostly from the earlier Samantapāsādikā commentary under thematic headings, thus foregoing the organization of rules emic to canonical Pāli texts. From the fourteenth to the nineteenth centuries, Vinayasaṅgaha enjoyed considerable popularity as a comprehensive Vinaya work among monastic scholars in Burma. The version of the nissaya found in this manuscript appears different from a more commonly attested work by Paramakhemā. However, as the colophon is absent or skipped in this testimony it is not currently possible to determine the authorship. Extent and format of original material: 1 bundle of 424 inscribed folios.
