Abbreviations of Pali texts

Abbreviations of Pali texts

The Society recommends that Pali texts are referenced in scholarly works using the comprehensive system of abbreviations first established by A Critical Pāli Dictionary, vol. I (Copenhagen, 1924–1948) and followed in the standard reference works — K. R. Norman, Pāli Literature (Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz, 1983) and Oskar von Hinüber, A Handbook of Pāli Literature (Berlin: Walter de Gruyter, 1996) — as well as PTS publications, including A Dictionary of Pāli.
