One single-page & two double-page woodcut illus. Woodblock-printed. [3], 11, 74 (plus a duplicate of f. 28) folding leaves. One kw?n in one volume. Small folio (321 x 215 mm.), orig. semi-stiff wrappers, with handwritten title on upper cover, old stitching. [Suncheon, Korea]: S?namsa, 1728. An attractive illustrated Korean woodblock edition of the Lotus Sutra, with a Preface by Daoxuan ?? (596-667) and line commentaries by Jiehuan ?? (fl. 1127), a Song-dynasty Chan monk. This edition is a 1728 recarving of a 1660 edition created at the S?namsa Temple ??? The temple, founded in 861 and located in South Jeolla province, played a fundamental role in the development of Seon Buddhism. Our copy includes the first two chapters (K. pum ?) in one kw?n, preceded by a frontispiece and two double page woodcut py?nsangdo ??? depicting scenes from the sutra, the second of which is dated 1646. The original author of the sutra is not known, but we know it existed by 255 CE. The sutra was translated into Chinese by the Central Asian scholar-monk Kum?raj?va (344-413 CE) in 406 CE. This translation is thought to be the closest to the presumed original version. "The Lotus Sutra is one of the most important and influential of all the sutras or sacred scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism, revered by almost all branches of the Mahayana teachings, and over many centuries the object of intense veneration among Buddhist believers throughout China, Korea, Japan, and other regions of eastern Asia." It is "an important text of world literature"-Watson, The Lotus Sutra (N.Y.: 1993), pp. ix-x). The Postscript states that the woodblocks for the Lotus Sutra previously held at the S?namsa Temple were destroyed during the second Japanese invasion of Korea (1597), and the carving of the new woodblocks took place in 1652-60. In 1728, new woodblocks were carved, based on the 1660 edition, from which our copy was printed. The volume ends with the list of donors, monks, and carvers involved in the making of both editions. We do not find any works printed at the S?namsa Temple in WorldCat. Excellent condition. Personal names, perhaps those of donors or carvers, printed next to the edge of the frame on some pages. One name on the final list of sponsors is obscured. The endpapers are recycled printed sutras.…

One single-page & one double-page woodcut. [2], 3, 2, 4, 51 folding leaves. Woodblock-printed. One kw?n in one volume. Small folio (334 x 220 mm.), orig. patterned semi-stiff wrappers (with handwritten title as usual), new stitching. [Chuwangsan, Korea]: Taej?nsa Temple, 1685. Early and rare Korean woodblock edition of the Lotus Sutra, with the Preface by Daoxuan ?? (596-667) and line commentaries by Jiehuan ?? (fl. 1127) a Song-dynasty Chan monk. The woodblocks were carved in 1685 at the Taej?nsa Temple, said to have been first constructed in the 7th century; it was destroyed during the Imjin War (1592) and subsequently rebuilt in the 17th century. Our copy includes the first two chapters (K. pum ?) in one kw?n, preceded by a frontispiece and a double-page woodcut py?nsangdo ??? depicting a scene from the sutra. The original author of the sutra is not known, but we know it existed by 255 CE. It was translated into Chinese by the Central Asian scholar-monk Kum?raj?va (344-413 CE) in 406 CE. This translation is thought to be the closest to the presumed original version. "The Lotus Sutra is one of the most important and influential of all the sutras or sacred scriptures of Mahayana Buddhism, revered by almost all branches of the Mahayana teachings, and over many centuries the object of intense veneration among Buddhist believers throughout China, Korea, Japan, and other regions of eastern Asia." It is "an important text of world literature" (Watson, The Lotus Sutra (SUNY: 1993), pp. ix-x). The colophon printed at the end of Jiehuan's Preface states that the woodblocks were carved in the spring of Kangxi 24 (1685) at the Taej?nsa Temple and gives the list of donors and carvers. Sutras printed in Korea before the 18th century are very rare today. We do not find any entries associated with the Taej?nsa Temple in WorldCat or KORCIS, the Korean online union catalogue of rare books in Korea. Nice, fresh copy, with some light and mostly marginal dampstaining towards end. Marginal annotations at beginning and end of the volume, and next to the colophon, state the place of printing (Taej?nsa). A small circular red seal on the last folio, illegible.…
