Hamanaka S., Sizova A. Imperial Postscript to the Tangut, Chinese and Tibetan Editions of the Dhāraṇī-sūtras in the Collection of the IOM, RAS // Written Monuments of the Orient. Vol. 6, No. 2(12), 2020. P. 65—92.
Three parallel editions of dhāraṇī-sūtras in Tangut, Chinese and Tibetan
languages were published in the Tangut state in 1149. The Tibetan edition is of particular
importance, because until recently specimens of printing in Tibetan, that could belong to
an earlier date, were not extant. All the editions are equal in terms of their contents and
contain the postscript written by the Emperor Renzong. The main goal of this article is to
introduce the previously unpublished Tibetan text of the postscript in correspondence with
the Tangut and Chinese versions. Besides, the article provides information about the study,
preservation state, and codicology of all the three editions.
