In the course of a computer-assisted stylometric examination of the authorship of T193, Gotō compares markers predominantly characteristic of Buddhabhadra-Baoyun to markers predominantly characteristic of Dharmarakṣa in T268, and finds the ratio T268: Buddhabhadra-Baoyun 424 markers : Dharmarakṣa 54 markers.

Sakaino presents a list of works ascribed to Zhiyan 智嚴 in LDSBJ (14 titles), and makes the following general claims: Four should be excised, as KYL points out (three are considered byproduct/offshoot excerpts 別抄, and one apocryphal 疑); Three more were already listed in CSZJJ, among which the Guangbo yanjing jing 廣博嚴淨經 [廣博嚴淨不退轉輪經 T268] is the text that can be regarded most safely as Zhiyan’s work; Five more titles are apparently taken from Sengyou’s “newly compiled catalogue of anonymous scriptures” 新集失譯錄. Among them, three (菩薩瓔珞本業經, 阿那含經, and 淨度三昧經) are clustered as the beginning of Sengyou’s catalogue, hence Sakaino suspects that Fei just took those titles and arbitrarily re-ascribed them to Zhiyan; Four overlap with works ascribed to Dharmarakṣa (including 2 titles, the Lalitavistara 普曜經 T186 and the Guangbo yanjing jing, for which cf. T318, already listed in CSZJJ for both Zhiyan and Dharmarakṣa). Sakaino states that, in this case, Fei might have simply been confused, partly influenced by the fact that CSZJJ did ascribe the Lalitavistara and the Guangbo zanjing jing to both Zhiyan and Dharmarakṣa. Nothing is known about the 善德優婆塞經. Although Sakaino does not explicitly say which texts other than T268 can be safely regarded as Zhiyan’s work, he implies that there are none, as the Lalitavistara ascribed to Zhiyan has been lost, and while the Si tianwang jing 四天王經 ascribed to him was listed in CSZJJ, the extant text of that title,T590, is probably apocryphal.

Abstract: "This study examines the biography of the monk Baoyun 寶雲 (376?-449) and lists all the titles of the translation projects in which Baoyun was involved. By comparing the information provided by different Buddhist catalogues, several discrepancies between the information on Baoyun provided by Buddhist bibliographer Sengyou 僧祐 (445-518) and by later accounts became evident. This study contextualizes the life of Baoyun in a broader historical perspective and presents the life of a monk who was a companion of Faxian 法顯 (336?-422) in his famous journey to the west, fluent in Indic languages, and a proficient translator." Lettere argues that we can see a gradual process by which the true scope of Baoyun's activities as a translator, originally represented rather clearly by Sengyou and the sources he collects (CSZJJ), was already diminished or undermined by Huijiao (GSZ), Fei Zhangfang (LCSBJ), and Fajing; and also seems to have suffered from being overshadowed by the reputation and legends that accrued to the personality of Faxian. In the course of her treatment of biographical and other external sources on Baoyun (CSZJJ, GSZ, and documents like prefaces), Lettere notes evidence that Baoyun might have been the principal translator for the following works: T192 (Lettere holds unequivocally that this work is "erroneously attributed to Dharmakṣema/Tan Wuchen 曇無讖", following Willemen 2009 [in error this reference is given as Chen Jinhua]: xiv-xvi); a "new Sukhāvatī" 新無量壽 [sic, for *Amitāyus] [Lettere's citation of studies by Nogami 1950, Gotō 2006, 2007, and Nattier 2003 implies that she identifies this title with T360 -- MR]; with Zhiyan, according to Sengyou's CSZJJ, three titles: the Puyao jing 普耀經, the Guangbo yanjing jing 廣博嚴淨經, and the Si tianwang jing 四天王經 [cf. for the last two titles respectively Avaivartikacakra 廣博嚴淨經 T268, and Si tianwang jing 四天王經 T590 -- MR]; the Śrīmālādevīsiṃhanāda 勝鬘經 [T353]; the Za’ahan jing 雜阿含經 (*Saṃyuktāgama) and the Fagu jing 法鼓經 [Lettere again does not go into the problem of identification with extant texts, but cf. Saṃyuktāgama T99 and the *Mahābherīhāraka-sūtra T270 -- MR]; a Mahāparinirvāṇa in six fascicles 六卷泥洹 [cf. T7 -- MR]. [To this list we should add the Laṅkāvatāra T670; Lettere omits to list it, but cf. 後於丹陽郡譯出勝鬘楞伽經, GSZ T2059 (L) 344b3, which in fact comprises two titles, the Śrīmālādevī and the Laṅkāvatāra; cf. Lettere 265 n. 9 -- MR.] Lettere also notes evidence that Baoyun may have composed a lost travelogue of his journeys, entitled Youlü waiguo 遊履外國. In LDSBJ, two titles are added to Baoyun's credit; Fufa zang jing 付法藏經 [cf. T2058] and Jingdu sanwei jing 淨度三昧經 [cf. X15]; and an *Akṣayamatinirdeśa 無盡意菩薩 to the joint translatorship of Baoyun and Zhiyan [cf. T397(12)]. Lettere notes that the poor reputation of Fei as a cataloguer makes these ascriptions less plausible. Entry author: Michael Radich |
