Kōichi Kitsudō and Zieme P. The Jin’gangjing zuan 金剛經纂 in Old Uighur with Parallels in Tangut and Chinese // Written Monuments of the Orient. 2(6), 2017. P. 43–87.
The Jin’gangjing zuan consists of passages abridged from the Diamond Sutra,
a miraculous story concerning a girl, and the Ten Feast Days and the Twelve Calendric
Days. It expounds the merits of chanting this scripture itself. So far, Chinese and Tangut
versions are edited. This paper provides the edition of the texts in Old Uighur attested in
manuscripts of St. Petersburg and Berlin. The comparative study of the texts reveals that
the Old Uighur version is parallel to the Tangut version.
The Eighteenth All-Russian Orientalist Seminar in memory of O.O. Rosenberg will be held at the IOM RAS on November 25–26, 2024. The conference program is now available.
