Abhidhamma texts to add #173

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 8 years ago

Just a reminder that more texts and translations should be added.

PTS seems to have some english translation that we do not have. See http://www.palitext.com/palitext/tipitaka.htm Discourse on Elements - Dhātukathā Designation of Human Types - Puggalapaññatti Conditional Relations - Paṭṭhāna Would it be worth asking them for copyrights and digital files?

The only one of these that I'm interested in is the Puggalapannatti, which is already released. the text contains over a hundred quotes or near quotes from suttas, mostly Anguttara. So it would be good to have. the only problem is that the translation is quite archaic, which is why i never pursued it very much.

The other texts are so Abhidhammic there's little point in a translation. I doubt very much if PTS has digital files for any of these anyway. I'd say just keep an eye out if anyone publishes them.

Emailed PTS today.

Sorry, what for? i said the only text I'm interested in is the Puggalapannatti, and this is already available.

ghost commented 8 years ago

Available ... where? Not on SC it's not. I thought you meant to ask PTS for the digital files if there are any. I could not find any digital files googling, but maybe you know more.

sujato commented 8 years ago

Available as in licence available. 99.9% chance there will not be any digital files. Anyway, let's see what they say.
