Dictionary of Pāli Proper Names v1.c2.1

- **Language:** English

### [v1.c2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c2.1)

ONE of my abiding memories of the days in the Nineties, when work under and with Rhys Davids became an essential part of my married life, was the foreground-presence of three interleaved volumes. These were Robert H. Childers’s Pāli Dictionary (a copy bequeathed by him to my husband) and the Pāli Text Society’s \*Journal\* for 1888, almost monopolized by an Index of Pāli Names by the Swiss scholar Edward Müller-Hess. Daily those interleaved pages were becoming ever more filled, to say nothing of marginal additions, so keenly did Rhys Davids record as soon as it appeared the New—or shall I say, the Newly-risen from the Once-had-been.
