Description

This Buddhist scripture (Sanskrit Eulogy to the One Hundred and Eight Names of Manjusri) is a short text composed of 900 Chinese characters arranged in 19 chapters that praises the bodhisattva Manjusri and his one hundred and eight names. This Chinese version, a transliteration of the original Sanskrit text, of the scripture was completed around 990 by a Song monk named Fatian (?-1001). This edition of the eulogy is conjectured to belong to the first edition of the Tripitaka Koreana published in the twelfth century on the basis of the Kaibao Tripitaka of the Song Dynasty, and is the only known example printed from the first Tripitaka Koreana woodblocks.
