rif. 11380Woodblock-printed. 27 joined sheets numbered except 3 & 27 62.5 folding leaves red edges. Tall narrow 8vo bound between wooden boards. Hà Nội: Kì vũ tự 祈雨寺 1889 date of publisher's colophon; copy perhaps printed in 1922. A beautiful and rare example of Vietnamese printing in the accordion "sutra-binding" or orihon format. We find no Vietnamese edition of this sutra in WorldCat and only the later 1906 edition is listed in the Vietnamese Han-Nom Literature Database surviving in two copies at the Institute of Hán-Nôm Studies AC.403 & 498. The Sutra of Infinite Meanings together with the Lotus Sutra and the Sutra on the Meditation of Samantabhadra Ch. Guan pu xian jing 觀普賢經 are traditionally held to constitute the Threefold Lotus Sutra wherein the brief Sutra of Infinite Meanings served as the introduction or "opening sutra" to one of the most philosophically profound and culturally influential texts in East Asian Buddhism. Although the Sutra of Infinite Meanings is considered today by many scholars to be an apocryphal text the canonical bibliography of Sengyou åƒ§ç¥ 445-518 holds that it was translated by DharmajÄtayaśas sometime before 481. The identification of this sutra with a text by the same title mentioned in the first chapter of the Lotus Sutra was established by Liu Qiu 劉虬 438-95 in his 485 Preface to the sutra an identification that quickly became widely accepted in Buddhist East Asia. Like the Lotus Sutra the Sutra of Infinite Meanings emphasizes the transformative power of the Buddha's word itself which even in the abridged form of a single verse or a single line eternally delivers the hearer from the world of suffering. The belief in this teaching of the Threefold Lotus Sutra motivated centuries of Buddhist printing in East Asia. To briefly quote from the sutra's third chapter "Ten Virtues": "If living beings are able to hear this sutra though they hear only one recitation one verse or just one line and are thereby able to comprehend and master hundreds and thousands ten thousands millions of meanings then although they have earthly desires it will be as though they were free of earthly desires and they will go in and out of the realm of birth and death without thoughts of fear or dread. Toward living beings they will acquire minds of pity and tenderness and they will confront all phenomena with brave and stalwart thoughts"-trans.

Hà Nội: Linh Quang Tự Bà Äá 1929. A very rare set of the woodblock-printed Sutra of the Heap of Jewels Skt. MahÄratnakūṭa Sūtra T. 0310 from northern Vietnam here in 21 volumes our set lacks Vols. 1 13 & 20. We identify only one other surviving copy in the Institute of Sino-Nôm Studies in Hanoi Viện nghiên cứu Hán Nôm AC.666/1-24. We do not know if that set is complete. “The MahÄratnakūṭa Sūtra is not a single Buddhist work but a large collection of forty-nine works which in its present Chinese form was compiled in the T’ang dynasty by Bodhiruci a South Indian Brahman and illustrious Tripiṭaka master who arrived in China in 693” K. Priscilla Pedersen “Notes on the Ratnakūṭa Collection” Journal of the International Association of Buddhist Studies 3.2 1980 p. 60. In 1926 the first year of the Bảo Äại reign a meeting was held among the high-ranking monks of modern-day Hanoi to continue a project left behind in 1917 by the deceased abbot of the Linh Quang Tự éˆå…‰å¯º temple which was to carve a set of woodblocks for printing the MahÄratnakūṭa Sūtra or the Sutra of the Heap of Jewels. Led by Bhikṣu Thông Mệnh 通命 of the Äà o Xuyên tự 桃å·å¯º temple and Bhikṣu Thanh Thứ æ¸…æ• of the Linh Sóc tự éˆæœ”寺 temple the project was very much a product of its time. Rather than merely reprinting the Sutra as it was already known to Vietnamese Buddhists the monks were delighted to discover — and incorporate into their edition — two further versions of the text one being from the Japanese Buddhist Canon held at the colonial Bác cổ trưá»ng åšå¤å ´ i.e. l’École française d’Extrême-Orient in Hanoi the other being a Chinese copy brought by Bhikṣu Tâm Trí 心智. The three versions — referred to as the “southern version” nam bổn å—æœ¬ the “northern version” bắc bổn 北本 and the “Japanese version” nhật bổn 日本 — were carefully compared and collated by the editors whose notes at the end of each chapter list all textual variants down to the page and line numbers Preface transcribed in Phạm Lê Huy “Nihon no kanyaku DaizÅkyÅ” æ—¥æœ¬ã®æ¼¢è¨³å¤§è”µçµŒ Riterashī shi kenkyū リテラシーå²ç ”ç©¶ 14 2021 p. 97. The resulting edition of the Sutra of the Heap of Jewels despite the traditional-seeming xylographic form and the use of Sinographs which were being quickly replaced by the Latin-based quốc ngữ after the abolition of the civil service exams in 1919 is therefore a product of its time enabled by the forces of colonial modernity and partaking in the Buddhist revival movements that were to unfold over the next few decades across the Asiatic world. The carving of the 1300 woodblocks for this Sutra was an expensive affair and the final volume ends by listing the names affiliations and contributions of over 100 donors mostly monks and nuns of various temples who had contributed to its making. Their donations ranged from 300 Indochinese piastre from Bhikṣu Tâm Trí himself to one piastre the contribution of many nuns placed at the end of the list. The woodblocks were kept — and might still be kept — at the Linh Quang Tự temple in Hanoi which based on a recent count preserves about 2600 woodblocks to this day Nguyễn Tuấn Cưá»ng et al. “Buddhist Print Culture in Nineteenth-Century Northern Vietnam” Journal of Vietnamese Studies 13.3 2018 pp. 74–75. Finally a note on Vietnamese books in general. Despite the country’s long history of Buddhist and Confucian learning woodblock-printed books published within Vietnam are far fewer in number than their Chinese or Japanese counterparts. This scarcity was due to the high cost of domestic production. According to the estimate of Kathlene Baldanza as late as the 19th century “the labor cost of printing in Vietnam was five to ten times higher than in China. Even ink and brushes were more expensive to produce in Vietnam.” Extensive international trade between northern Vietnam and southern China — where plentiful numbers of books were printed at very low costs — meant that “it was generally cheaper to purchase books from China than to buy them locally” “Publishing Book Culture and Reading Practices in Vietnam” Journal of Vietnamese Studies 13.3 2018 pp. 10–11. Beyond the limited cases of official and temple-based publishing Vietnamese publishers were pushed toward niche genres such as Sino-Vietnamese dictionaries ritual manuals or morality books. Regardless of genre woodblock-printed books from Vietnam are very difficult to find today outside a few major collections such as the Institute of Sino-Nôm Studies in Hanoi and l’École française d’Extrême-Orient in Paris. We will not focus on the massive destruction of the nation’s cultural heritage during its long war of independence in the post World War II period. Fine and fresh set. â§ Yuenan Hannan wenxian ziliaoku è¶Šå—æ¼¢å–ƒæ–‡ç»è³‡æ–™åº« Academia Sinica. unknown books

An official report issued by the Ottoman Fourth Army under Jamal Pasha concerning the proceedings of the Supreme Court Martial Tribunal convened at ʿĀliyah Aley Lebanon established to prosecute alleged Arab separatists and Pan-Arabist movements in Syria and Egypt during the First World War. The report claims that the names of prominent Arab nationalists were discovered by the Ottoman authorities among documents seized from the French Embassy in Beirut reportedly placed under the safekeeping of the American Embassy following the outbreak of war. These documents formed the evidentiary basis for the tribunal's investigations. 125 pages of Arabic text accompanied by over 50 facsimile plates issued as a supplement reproducing original documents and correspondence between the accused Arab nationalists and other related parties examined by the tribunal. Preserved in a modern hardcover binding.

rif. 24058Undated. On letterhead of West House Campden Hill Kensington. London. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. Folded once. The recipient is named as ‘J. Pendred Broadhurst Esq’. Boughton begins by thanking him for his ‘kind note’. He is ‘quite out of photos for the moment - there has been such “a run on” me’. His portrait is not ‘in commerce’. He is enclosing ‘a Menu Card of a dinner given me by Messrs Harper in New York’ which has ‘a portrait by Mr L. Alma Tadema R.A. which I think is a little out of the Common. There is also an illustration from our book - E. A. Abbey and mine sketching “Rambles in Holland.” which the Harpers published’. If Broadhurst uses the latter item ‘then pray let me have it again as I have only one other - which I may lose any moment.’ Undated. On letterhead of West House, Campden Hill, Kensington.
