[Buddha-l] Vinaya Texts trans/ed. by Oldenberg

[JKirkpatrick]

Not very much of the vinaya is on Access to Insight. A few
summaries and excerpts are there, but the none of the historical
parts that provide the context for the rules and the evolution of
the early monastic sangha. The complete vinaya has been
translated several times. The best translation is the one
currently available through the Pali Text Society in six volumes
by I.B. Horner from 1938 to 1966.

===============
Too bad--I can't afford to buy the 6 vols., and no library around
here has them.
But have you ever seen the Oldenberg translations? It would be
worthwhile to see the topics of the books he covered, or whatever
they come as.
