Dear Patrick,



the two publications



Oskar von Hinüber, “Buddhistische Kommentare aus dem alten Indien. Die
Erklärung des Theravāda Kanons,” in: Michael Quisinsky (Hrsg.):
Kommentarkulturen: die Auslegung zentraler Texte der Weltreligionen; ein
vergleichender Überblick. Köln: Böhlau, 2007, p. 99-114. (available online

and



Wlater Slaje, “Der Sanskrit-Kommentar,” in: Michael Quisinsky (Hrsg.):

may be of interest if the graduate student you mention reads German.





With best wishes,



Philipp

> In his recent article "Mindsets and Commentarial Conventions among Indian
> Buddhists" (March 2015 issue of JAAR), one of the issues Richard Nance
> discusses is the importance of commentarial literature as markers of
> historical development of ideas from Sanskrit root texts. Nance also
> acknowledges the problems embedded in the study of commentaries.  Since I
> use *nibandhas* in my research, I would greatly appreciate suggestions
> for further readings of this nature that examine the relevance of
> commentaries and *nibandha* literature in pre-modern South Asia.
