Description
Summary:Scholars believe that the ‘secret scriptures’ in both the Qisha Canon 磧砂藏 and Puning Canon 普寧藏 were printed by the same woodblocks. Their conclusion is based on the colophon written by the son of Guan Zhuba 管主八. I examined the secret scriptures in the Qisha Canon kept at China National Library, as well as the secret scriptures in the Puning Canon at Saidai-ji in Nara, Japan. I conclude that it is true that the secret scriptures of both editions were printed by the same woodblocks. I further elaborate upon parts of the secret scriptures as make-ups in the Qisha Canon in this paper.
