English summary: Printed editions of the writings of the Theravada Buddhism, still practiced today in Ceylon and Southeast Asia, generally originate from very recent palm leaf manuscripts produced in the 19th, and in some cases, in the second half of the 18th century in the Middle Indo-Aryan language Pali. However, in northern Thailand alone, the tradition of manuscripts goes back much further, beginning already in the late 15th century. Projects funded by the German Research Foundation and Foreign Office ensured the preservation of the most significant Pali manuscripts from northern Thailand on microfilm. Particularly noteworthy are the manuscripts from the small monastery Lai Hin near Lampang in the south of Chiang Mai, which are made available to researchers in Oskar von Hinuber's latest publication for the first time. Presenting a comprehensive introduction to the cultural context in which the manuscripts were created, von Hinuber subsequently describes the over 150 truly ancient documents in detail with references to the microfilm collection. The translation of the colophons also provides valuable information on monasteries and monks as well as on the historical geography, and also provides some details of not only cultural, but also economic history. German description: Gedruckte Ausgaben der Schriften des in Ceylon und Sudostasien lebendigen Theravada-Buddhismus entstehen in der Regel auf der Grundlage sehr junger Handschriften auf Palmblattern aus dem 19., seltener aus der zweiten Halfte des 18. Jahrhunderts, die in der mittelindischen Sprache Pali verfasst sind. Allein im Norden Thailands reicht die Handschrif-tentradition jedoch sehr viel weiter zuruck und beginnt bereits im ausgehenden 15. Jahr-hundert. Die wichtigsten nordthailandischen Pali-Handschriften wurden in von der Deutschen For-schungsgemeinschaft und dem Auswartigen Amt geforderten Projekten auf Mikrofilmen festgehalten. Von besonderer Bedeutung sind dabei die Handschriften des kleinen Klosters Lai Hin bei Lampang im Suden von Chiang Mai, die Oskar von Hinuber in seinem neuesten Band erstmals der Forschung zuganglich macht. Nach einer umfassenden Einleitung zum kulturellen Umfeld, in dem die Handschriften entstanden sind, werden die gut 150 besonders alten Handschriften ausfuhrlich anhand der Mikrofilmsammlung beschrieben. Die Uber-setzung ihrer Kolophone aus dem Nordthai bietet zudem wertvolle Hinweise auf Kloster und Monche sowie auf die historische Geographie und teilt manche Einzelheit nicht nur zur Kultur-, sondern sogar zur Wirtschaftsgeschichte mit.
