MaitreyasamitinATaka

[Christophe Vielle]

Is there anything new (compared to the 
Sieg/Siegling corpus) on the question in:

Fragments of the Tocharian A 
Maitreyasamiti-Naa.taka of the Xinjiang Museum, 
China / transliterated, translated and annotated 
by Ji Xianlin in collaboration with Werner Winter 
and G.-J. Pinault, Berlin: de Gruyter, 1998.
G.-J. Pinault "Restitution du 
Maitreyasamiti-Naa.taka en tokharien 1: Bilan 
provisoire et recherches complémentaires sur 
l'acte XXVI", TIES 8, 1999, pp. 189-240
K.T. Schmidt, "Das Fragment YQ 1.40 + 1.35 der 
osttocharischen 
Maitreyasamitinaa.taka-Handschrift des Xinjiang 
Museums in Urumqi", MSS 59, 1999, pp. 89-93
or in:
Thomas, Werner, Tocharische Maitreya-Parallelen 
aus Hami, Stuttgart: Steiner, 1990; Id. Zwei 
weitere Maitreya-Fragmente in Tocharisch A, 
Stuttgart: Steiner , 1991;

with best wishes,
Christophe Vielle
