«Vor dem Tipitaka» is Oskar von Hinüber's essay on the Buddhist canon, in paperback (76 pages, in German), published by Franz Steiner Verlag.
The author examines how early Buddhists attempted to order their sacred texts before the consolidation of the Tipitaka. From scattered sources —council reports and the Dipavamsa—, he reconstructs the transition from the lists of Angas to the canon's structure and offers perspectives on the formation of the Khuddakanikaya.
Published in 2024; volume 2024.2 of the series Abhandlungen der Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Literatur.
For scholars of Buddhist textual history and readers interested in the formation of the Pali canon.
