"It is indeed an honour to be given the privilege of delivering the I. B. Horner Memorial Lecture. Horner's scholarly works have been the foundation of my own research." — Dr. Ooi Eng Jin

About the Lecture
According to the Pali Text Society, the lecture offers an initial comparative study of the Milindapañha palm-leaf traditions from Thailand, centred on the Pubbayoga, revealing "a complex, multilayered interweaving of texts, redactors' innovations, and the complementary roles" these versions played in the wider literary tradition.
