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

该项目将“通过更好地了解语言、社会和文化，增强澳大利亚解释和接触其区域环境的能力”(研究重点4：了解我们的区域和世界)；它将加深我们对许多佛教国家的宗教和文化传统的了解，这些传统构成了澳大利亚区域环境的重要组成部分，并增进了我们对佛教的了解，佛教是澳大利亚发展最快的宗教。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威望，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.
