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 (Copenhagaen, 1924–1948) and followed in the standard reference works — K. R. Norman, Pāli Literature (Wiesbaden: Harrosowitz, 1983) and Oskar von Hinüber, A Handbook of Pāli Literature (Berlin: Walter de Gruyter, 1996) — as well as all PTS publications.
