Radich briefly surveys a range of scholarship suggesting that T226 may not be by Zhu Fonian, and T309, T384, and T385 are probably Chinese compositions, and so probably should be (at least provisionally) excluded from Zhu Fonian's authentic translation corpus. Entry author: Michael Radich |

Using computer-assisted analysis of internal evidence betraying intertextual relations, Lin and Radich follow up Nattier's (2010) discovery that T309 is a Chinese composition. They discover further Chinese sources for T309, and Chinese sources for T656. They corroborate Nattier's suggestion that these texts, even though they are Chinese compositions, are in fact by Zhu Fonian (they are stylistically consistent with his genuine translation works). They also analyse patterns in the ways that Zhu Fonian used his sources, and the uneven distribution of passages with obvious Chinese sources within these large texts (the distribution in the case of T656 being particularly uneven). Lin and Radich also consider the possibility that T384 and T385, two other Mahāyāna scriptures by Zhu Fonian and possibly connected with a similar episode in his life, may also be his own compositions. They are unable to find passages with direct Chinese sources in T384 and T385, but nevertheless, discuss certain other aspects of the content of the texts which do suggest that they are broadly texts of the same type as T309 and T656. They conclude that it is most likely that all four texts were composed in China by Zhu Fonian himself. Entry author: Michael Radich |

In a list of translations that he ascribes to Zhu Fonian, Fei Zhangfang cites the Er Qin lu as a source for ascriptions of the Shi zhu duan jie jing 十住斷結經 T309, the Pusa chu tai jing 菩薩處胎經 T384 and the *Antarābhava-sūtra 中陰經 T385. Entry author: Michael Radich |
