[INDOLOGY] Buddhasrijnana's Abhisamaya commentary

[Jonathan Silk]

Maybe this is what you refer to?
Nagao's review must be this:

Tateshiro Ennō 健代渕応, *Abhisamayālaṁkāraśāstraṭīkā no Kenkyū*
Abhisamayālaṁkāraśāstra.ṭīkāの研究 (Ōsaka: Shitennōji shiin Seikōin
Kiyomizudera 四天王寺支院清光院清水寺, 1973). *Suzuki Gakujutsu Zaidan Kenkyū Nenpō*
鈴木学術財団年報  12/13 (1975/ 1976): 116–118.
