[Rupert Gethin]

Dear Colleagues,

The Pali Text Society is pleased to announce the publication of Dr Sven Bretfeld’s critical edition and English translation of the Nikāyasaṅgrahaya.

edited and translated by Sven Bretfeld, cx + 264 pp. ISBN: 9780860135302. £45

The Nikāyasaṅgrahaya is a late 14th-century account of the history of the Buddhist order in India
and Sri Lanka down to the reign of Bhuvanaikabāhu V (1371–1408) written in Sinhala. Professor
Bretfeld’s critical edition and new English translation of this important work is accompanied by
a substantial introduction (pp. xvii–cx). It supersedes the pioneering edition and translation
