The core of this section, was originally prepared for the Sri Lanka Tipitaka Project, but since then the documents have been given a further proof-reading, and extra editorial matter has been included in the notes. All the texts now take account of the Corrigenda (øuddhi Patraya) that were originally printed as a supplement to the individual texts. Here the corrections have been written into the text itself.

The New Editions, such as A New Edition of the Dhammapada, and A New Edition of Khuddakapàñha have been prepared because it was felt that in a number of cases the BJT versions were rather inadequate as they stand, especially in regard to the metre, and could easily be improved on, by taking into account the various versions that are now available in the 4 main editions.

The main growth in this section in recent years has been the addition of a number of Comparative Documents, such as A Comparative Edition of the Dhammapada, A Comparison of the Pàëi Udànas and the Udànavarga, The Uraga Verses and others; and the inclusion of Sanskritised PràkÔt texts, such as Udànavarga, and The Patna Dharmapada. I have also prepared a number of Medieval texts, including Jinacaritaü, and Dàthàvaüsa.
