Bestanddeel DJG/1/2 - A Pali Dictionary

1 volume

Donated by Donald Ferguson sometime after June 1878.

This "A Pali Dictionary" is of Pali words/phrases with their English meanings. The handwritten dictionary is written on the left-hand page with occasional additional notes on the right-hand page. It is contained within a red marbled hardbound notebook, 20.5 x 16 cm, of which the front board is detached. On its inner cover has been attached a letter from Donald Ferguson, who it seems donated this dictionary to the Royal Asiatic Society. He bought the volume at a sale of books of Reverend David de Silva, Wesleyan minister, on 29 June 1878. Ferguson surmises that this is the third of four volumes originally written by Gogerly.
