This new volume in the STTAR series follows up the publication of the critical edition of the third chapter of Dharmakirti's "Pramanaviniscaya" (on argumentation in philosophical debate), which was published in the same series as volume 8 (2011). The current volume presents a diplomatic edition of the Sanskrit text of the corresponding chapter in the commentary by Dharmottara (8th c.), the "Pramanaviniscayatika", based on a Photostat copy of an incomplete palm-leaf manuscript in Proto Bengali script. The edition is preceded by an introduction that includes a manuscript description, remarks on the Tibetan translation, a structural analysis with references to the "Pramanaviniscaya" edition, and indices of names of persons, texts and schools as found in the third chapter of the "Pramanaviniscayatika".
