Description
Summary:The inscription preceding the caption title is dated 1085; the texts included herein are likely part of the "Da zang jing" (Chinese Tripitaka) which was carved and printed at Dong chan si (Temple) in Fuzhou, Fujian Sheng. The character "three" was engraved at the lower edge of the book shows that it was the third volume of the complete collection. The version from Dong chan si is known as the first privately printed Chinese edition of the Da zang jing, and the first Buddhist scripture printed on folded leaves; at present, only odd volumes of this edition are extant.
