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

[Blumenthal, James]

Diane Finnegan (aka Ven. Damcho) recently defended her dissertation at the University of Wisconsin on representations of spiritual friendship in the Vinaya.  I have not seen the final product and do not know what is included, but a couple of years ago she told me that she was preparing a translation of the entire Vinaya (Sarvastivada?) based on the Tibetan and Sanskrit.  I believe she had already translated about 1200 pages at that point.  The dissertation was not focussed on translation, but I would imagine she intends to publish the translations she has done.
