Primary sources

For the Pali Canon and commentaries, I have relied almost entirely on the editions published in Bangkok by Mahamakut Rajavidyalaya Press. The two exceptions are the Pali Text Society's edition of the Kankhavitarani, edited by Dorothy Maskell, and the Harvard Oriental Series' edition of the Visuddhimagga, edited by Henry Clarke Warren and Dharmananda Kosambi.
