Pali Text Society

The Pali Text Society is a registered charity in the United Kingdom, whose purpose is "to foster and promote the study of Pali texts". It is the principal Western publisher in the field. Pali is the traditional language of Theravada Buddhism, and the most important Pali texts are those constituting the Pali Canon. The narrative here is for convenience divided up into the "reigns" of the successive presidents of the Society.
