Buddhaghosa (Original Commentary Author)、Pali Text･･･

This is Volume IV of the Pāli Text Society (PTS) edition of the Samantapāsādikā, the main commentary on the Vinaya Piṭaka (Discipline Basket) by the fifth-century scholar Buddhaghosa. It is a foundational text for understanding monastic rules in Theravada Buddhism. Published by the Pali Text Society in London, this edition was carefully edited by renowned Japanese scholars J. Takakusu and Makoto Nagai. Their work highlights the book’s international scholarly importance and its historical value in Asian textual studies. This copy is the 1967 reprint of the original 1934 edition, reflecting its lasting significance. Early PTS hardback editions are out of print and highly sought after by academic libraries and collectors. The book is in excellent condition, with a clean gray/khaki cloth binding and bright gilt lettering. Minimal wear is visible only at the spine ends and corners. This volume is essential for scholars of Theravada Buddhism, monastic history, and classical Pāli studies.
