Buddhaghosa (Original Author); J. Takakusu, Makoto･･･

This book is Volume V of the Samantapāsādikā, a major commentary by the scholar Buddhaghosa on the Vinaya Piṭaka, the monastic rules for Buddhist monks. This work is a cornerstone for studying Theravāda Buddhism. This is a 1966 reprint of the 1938 first edition, published by the esteemed Pali Text Society PTS in London. It was notably edited by pioneering Japanese scholars J. Takakusu and Makoto Nagai.The book is in exceptional, near mint condition. The hardcover is remarkably clean, the gold lettering on the spine is bright, and the binding is tight. The pages inside are fresh and look unread.For any scholar of Pāli or Theravāda Buddhism, the Pali Text Society editions are the definitive texts. This 1966 hardcover is highly desirable for its strong construction and superior quality compared to modern reprints. Its outstanding condition and its connection to great Japanese scholars make it a particularly special copy for a working library or a collection of fine academic books.
