I am the Coordinator of Contributing Scholars Programs at the Modern Language Association, and I am writing regarding two opportunities for your members to contribute to the MLA International Bibliography and share important scholarship in your field. The MLA is currently seeking new field bibliographers, and we are also accepting applications for three-year MLA Bibliography fellowships.
Dear Dan Lusthaus and Dhivan Jones,
thank you very much for the information.
Is this (Summary of the Topics of Abhidhamma, Pali Text Society 2002) book available in pdf format on the internet? or could someone please tell me how I can access this book?
Thank you,
with kind regards,

Dear Sameeksha,
The translation of Abhidhammaṭṭhasaṅgaha by R.P. Wijeratne and Rupert Gethin (Summary of the Topics of Abhidhamma, Pali Text Society 2002) includes a translation of the commentary called Abhidhammaṭṭhavibhāvinī by Sumaṅgala. The translation of Abhidhammaṭṭhasaṅgaha ed. Bhikkhu Bodhi (A Comprehensive Manual of Abhidhamma, BPS 1993) includes explanatory material drawn from the same commentary and also that of Ledi Sayadaw called Paramatthadīpanī-ṭīkā.
