[Buddha-l] Chronology of Pali texts

[Stefan Detrez]

Does anyone know of (recent) works attempting to establish a chronology of
the suttas based on paleography/dialectology? The only works I'm familiar
with dealing with this issue is Vishvanath Prasad Varma's 'Early Buddhism
and its Origins', MLBD, 1973 and, in an implicit way, Oskar Von Hinüber's
'Handbook of Pali Literature'. There is also some discussion of Pali
dialectology in 'Middle Indo-Aryan and Jaina Studies / Sanskrit Outside
India' in the 'Panels of the VIIth World Sanskrit Conference-series', Brill,
1991. But's that all. Any works I'm not yet familiar with?

Thanks,

Stefan
