Dear Ven,
Welcome to our forum!
Can you give us some more details about what exactly you are looking for?
Yes, Bhante!, sorry for being unable to reply you. The Vatthupakaraį¹a is actually, the aį¹į¹hakathÄ (commentary) to kathÄvatthu which is the fifth book from the 7 series of the Abhidhamma piį¹aka. I was looking for the script version of Sinhala script for textual editing. Since you have worked with authenticity of early Buddhist text, I thought you might happen to come across with that script. Therefore, I asked for help but just in case.
āSukhito hotu, Bhanteā

Hello Ven. Pannasiri
Did you get access to the text you needed in the last two years since you posted your question? Iām sure Ven. Sujato is far more knowledgeable and has access to more information than I do, but in case it might help here is a suggestion.
You could try converting the Thai edition (available in Thai script or Roman script) to Sinhala script using an online tool. I am happy to assist you in finding or converting any passages if needed.
Best,
Nanrin
Oh okay. Well, Iām afraid I donāt know anything about this particular one. You might want to check this essay, it has a large listing of different manuscripts.
You might also contact the Ministry of Cultural Affairs in SL, they have been surveying manuscripts for the past few years.

Thank you, Bhante. I have already checked this large listing of different manuscripts. But, not therein.
Oh, I am glad to hear your kindly assistance. Indeed, I went to several temple for this script but didnāt get it. It will be appreciated if you could find it. The name is āVatthupakaraį¹aā.
And thank you so much for online tool and other links for script. I myself will try to use that tool in some case. If you have some more handy tools, please be kindly contribute by sharing it. āBhavatu jayamaį¹ galaį¹ā
