Abstract:
We will examine three types of reuse represented in Pāli legal literature: (1) unacknowledged borrowings of authoritative opinions and definitions adapted (such as by dropping the references given in the source text) and rearranged (Samantapāsādikā > Kaṅkhāvitaraṇī; fourth to fifth century ce); (2) unacknowledged borrowings of largely unchanged selected text portions being rearranged (Samantapāsādikā > Vinaya-saṅgaha; twelfth century CE); and (3) unconnected extracts of unchanged text portions lined up in the sequence of the source text (for instance Pātimokkha-padattha-anuvaṇṇanā > Vinaya-lakkhaṇa-rāsī; eighteenth (?) century CE).
