Preface

The text of the Màtikà from Dhammasaïgaõã presented here has been established after a comparison of the three main editions of the text as listed below. The work as it stands is a preliminary to some texts that are being prepared from the Abhidhamma, including the Satipaññhànavibhaïga. I also hope to expand the present work at some point to include the explanations of the matrix that are given in the Nikkhepakaõóa and Aññhakathà sections of Dhammasaïgaõã.
