Akira Isobe, The Original Texts of Two Denominational Precious Volumes Published in the Early Qing, with Explanatory Remarks: Pufu zhouliu wushisan can baojuan and Yaoqin sanzang xitian qu qing jielun, 2010 This volume consists of photofacsimile reproductions, together with summaries, of two religious texts known as “precious Volumes” (Baojuan 宝巻) that were published privately in the early Qing. The Yaoqin sanzang xitian qu qing jielun 姚秦三蔵西天取清解論 was published in Shunzhi 順治 2 (1645). The Pufu zhouliu wushisan can baojuan 普覆週流五十三参宝巻, on the other hand, was composed by a religious leader affiliated to a sect known as the Way of Yellow Heaven (Huangtiandao 黃天道) and was published in Beijing in Kangxi 康熙 32 (1693). Precious Volumes published in the late Ming and early Qing were sumptuously produced, imitating scriptures published by imperial sanction, and in view of the fact that they were published alongside Buddhist and Daoist scriptures by publishers located within the city of Beijing, where the imperial palace was situated, it is evident that they were not proscribed at the time. The two texts reproduced here also contain information about the publishers, and if one further takes into account their silk binding, format, and so on, it is to be surmised that they were published with the patronage of princesses, ladies-in-waiting, and eunuchs in the imperial palace and officials and well-to-do people living in Beijing. Here lies the significance of reproducing these texts today. |
