Description

The original text had been written by Assanga Bodhisattva in India, which was translated by Xuan Zang (a Chinese Buddhist monk: 602-664) of Tang Dynasty into a set of 20 volumes. This is the 11th volume of the set, and it has been handed down with the chest in the shape of the letter ‘cheok (尺)’. This is a first edition of the translated manuscript, printed in the 11th century, and it has a different printing format and printing record, compared to a revised edition. The carving skill of the first edition is considered better than the revised one.
