1774réf. 159690Likely Beijing: no stated publisher 1774. One polity many languages First edition of this unusual quintilingual work exhibiting the artistic skill of Chinese woodblock carvers. Compiled by the personal Buddhist tutor to the Qianlong emperor - China's Louis XIV - it lists slightly over 1000 buddhas destined to appear in the present Buddhist aeon. We have traced just three institutional copies. Print was a vital vehicle for spreading Buddhist thought throughout the multicultural Qing empire. This compilation based on the Bhadrakalpa Sutra served as an invaluable scholarly and devotional reference for practising and aspiring Buddhists as well as for those charged with producing religious commentaries. It begins with Kakusandha an esteemed buddha of antiquity and lists four names per page with the five different languages Chinese Manchu Mongolian Tibetan and Sanskrit phoneticized in Tibetan arranged vertically. The compilation process was led by the senior court figure Changkya Rölpé Dorjé 1717-1786 Qianlong's principal Buddhist advisor who also oversaw the translation of the Tibetan Buddhist canon into Mongolian and Manchu. The Bhadrakalpa Sutra is a key text in Mahayana Buddhism. Without it the names of many buddhas would otherwise have been lost. The text was first translated into Chinese by Dharmaraska c.233-310 one of the most significant scholarly influences on the growth of Buddhism in East Asia. China's Qing emperors presided over an ethnically heterogeneous empire which continued to expand in the early 18th century with the conquest of Tibet in 1720. Buddhism enjoyed significant state support; for example Qianlong 1735-1796 commissioned paintings depicting him in the form of a Buddhist in an advanced stage of enlightenment. Provenance: several ownership seals of Taijun Inokuchi 1922-2018 a leading Japanese scholar of Buddhism at Kyoto's Ryukoku University with his manuscript cataloguing notes on a sheet of personalized notepaper affixed to the lower flap of the folding case. In 1989 he published a preliminary catalogue of the famous manuscripts unearthed by Paul Pelliot at Dunhuang now housed in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France which have revolutionized scholarly understanding of Buddhism. Volume I contains in-text numerical annotations in red pencil most likely by Inokuchi. This copy then passed to a private collector in the UK. Copies can be found in the Library of Congress Harvard and the Austrian National Library. 2 vols quarto 270 x 200 mm.

réf. 159500Huzhou: c. 1250. Printed almost 800 years ago A surviving fascicle from a famous early Chinese edition of the Buddhist canon printed during the Song dynasty at the Yuanjue later Zifu temple in Huzhou. The respect given to Buddhist texts has ensured the institutional survival of a couple of near-complete Yuanjue sets but any examples of Chinese printing of this age are exceptionally scarce in commerce. We have traced only three works on paper printed before 1300 in Western auctions since 1980. Multiple characteristics suggest that this particular example is from the Yuanjue edition. Phonetic glosses at the end the size of the printed area and the number of pages columns and characters per sheet are consistent with other examples. The first sheet also gives the name of the block carver as Shi Hong. A carver of the same name was active in the Huzhou region during the Southern Song period and was involved in other projects including editions of the Shuijing zhu an ancient geographical treatise and the Lotus Sutra. Carving of the blocks for the Yuanjue edition commenced at some point between the 1110s and 1140s. The blocks were used to print copies until being burned by Mongol invaders in 1276. Subsequently this edition was unknown in China until the bibliophile Yang Shoujing 1839-1915 brought an almost complete set back from Japan in the late 19th century. Li & He write that surviving volumes from the Yuanjue edition "are already very rare in China". Near-complete copies are held at the National Library of China and Tokyo's Sanenzan Zojo Temple. Scattered volumes are found in other institutions including the Gansu Provincial Library the National Palace Museum in Taipei and several other temples in Japan.
