Viac o knihe

Focusing on the medieval catalogs of Buddhist writings in China, this book reveals how the Chinese Buddhist canon was influenced and censored by catalogers throughout history. It explores issues of authenticity, the valuation of scriptures, and the evolution of libraries and learning in pre-modern China. The author argues for the importance of integrating the history of these catalogs into broader discussions of scripture and canon globally. As a pioneering English-language study, it serves as an essential resource for scholars of East Asian Buddhism.
