Abstract

In Japan temples were the center of publishing until the Middle Ages. The Kasuga edition of the Buddhist scriptures was produced at the Kōfuku-ji Temple in Nara. These scrolls, from that edition, contain the text of Jōyuishikiron (The completion of mere ideation), a commentary on the work by the Indian scholar Seshin (Vasubandhu in Sanskrit) known as Yuishiki sanjūju (Triṃśikā-vijñapti-kārikā in Sanskrit, Weishi sanshi song in Chinese). The commentary was translated into Chinese during the Tang dynasty by a Chinese monk named Xuanzang. It was a canon of the Hossō school of Buddhism in Japan and is thought to have been published several times at the Kōfuku-ji Temple. The small but beautiful lettering imitating the style of hand-copied sutras and the pitch-black ink indicate that these scrolls were published at the end of the Kamakura period or the Nanbokuchō period (14th century). The red marks were added by hand to aid Japanese readers in deciphering the Chinese text.(en)

春日版。平安時代末から江戸時代にかけて、奈良の興福寺で出版された仏書を春日版と呼んでいる。唯識、法相関係のものが中心であるが、大般若経、法華経等も印刷された。本書は小型ながら写経風の美しい文字と漆黒の墨色で、鎌倉時代末から南北朝頃の刊行と推定される。全巻に朱点が施されている。料紙は斐紙。一部補修改装。『成唯識論』は世親の『唯識三十頌』に注釈を加えたもので唐の玄奘が訳出、法相宗の重要な経典である。
