That is the *Netti*, not the *Peṭakopadesa*, and there is already an answer that mentions that link. Thank you for the answer anyway.

I couldn't find anything there. Did you find it? If you didn't find it yourself and were uncertain that it was available, why did you answer? I know you may have had a good intention but this doesn't actually answer the question.

<p>This book claims to compare
The Nettippakarana and Petakopadesa, compared - xiii. 6. Authorship and ... Glossary (Pali-English). 288 ... The book here translated—as it stands, it was perhaps composed ..... The only extra source available is the contents of the two books.</p>

<p>This is a free resource. Hope that is of interest</p>

I've already skimmed through that one. I was looking for a complete *Peṭakopadesa* but thank you for the notification on that specific *Netti* chapter. It's very enlightening about their similarities & differences.

I only have knowledge of [Ñāṇamoli's translation](http://www.palitext.com/palitext/tran.htm#tt37) which is not available for free. Does anyone have knowledge of an English translation available for free?
