| Summary: | Over the course of the Chinese Buddhist canon’s development, which spans over 2000 years, the canon has undergone several changes in form: from manuscript editions, woodblock printed editions, facsimiled editions, to modern electronic editions. The basic characteristics of these renditions have evolved in tandem with such technological development. This paper endeavors to analyze the content, organization and historical context of the Chinese Buddhist canon from the earliest manuscript catalogues such as the Ru zang jian lu 入藏見錄 to the most recent project to create an electronic Zhaocheng Edition 趙城藏. |
