[Buddha-l] Current state of study of early Buddhist schools?

[Stefan Detrez]

Dear folks,

I've been reading Frauwallner's Studies in Abhidharma Literature and the
Origins of Buddhist Philosophical Systems. It covers the Sarvastivada
Abhidharma, the Pali Abhidharma and the Sariputrabhidharma and then expands
on their consequent development. The book is a translation from the German
based on Frauwallner's articles published in the 70-ies.

Whatever happened to the study of those early schools eversince? It seems
there's no interest to study early buddhist schools telling from the meager
quantity of books published on that subject.

What happened? What about German, French and Italian publications on that
subject?

Thanks,

Stefan
