Recently discovered rare manuscripts of mediaeval Pali subcommentaries: a missing link in Buddhist textual transmission

该项目将“通过加深对语言、社会和文化的了解，提高澳大利亚解读和参与区域环境的能力”（研究重点4：了解我们的地区和世界）；它将加深我们对许多佛教国家的宗教和文化传统的理解，这些国家构成了澳大利亚区域环境的重要组成部分，并增进我们对佛教这一澳大利亚发展最快的宗教的认识。由于这是巴利语研究领域的第一个此类项目，它将提高澳大利亚研究能力的国际声望，并为该领域的国际合作开辟新的可能性。

The project will "enhance Australia's capacity to interpret and engage with its regional environment through a greater understanding of languages, societies and cultures" (Research priority 4: Understanding our region and the world); it will deepen our understanding of religious and cultural traditions of many Buddhist countries, which constitute a substantial part of Australia's regional environment, and advance our knowledge of Buddhism, the fastest growing religion in Australia. Since this is the first project of its kind in the field of Pali studies, it will increase the international prestige of Australian research capability and open new possibilities for international cooperation in the field.
