Puggalapaññatti
The fourth (in the present order) of the seven books of the Abhidhamma Piá¹aka. It is, however, generally considered to be the earliest of the Abhidhamma books. Its subject matter is the person (puggala). The author first gives a table of contents of the whole work, and then follows the method of the Aá¹…guttara NikÄya, grouping human types first under one term, then under two, and so on up to ten. Several of the sections are found, almost complete, in the corresponding sections of the Aá¹…guttara. Others are found in the Saá¹…gÄ«ti Sutta. For details see Morris' edition in the P.T.S. series (Introd. x xi).
