[Bie lu (DH mss)] "Liu Song" Zhongjing bie lu 劉宋眾經別錄, S.2872, P.3747. Dating complex and unclear. |
In the "Liu Song" Zhongjing bie lu 劉宋眾經別錄, as represented by a Dunhuang manuscript fragment, P.3747, the following title appears: 大十二門經二卷 (title #22 in the numbering given to the Bie lu manuscript in the transcription of Tan 1991). This title appears to correspond to no extant text. The title is followed by an interlinear note: 漢桓帝時安息國沙門安世高譯出 In CSZJJ, wording very close to this is part of the note used to cover the whole An Shigao list of 34 titles: 漢桓帝時。安息國沙門安世高所譯出, T2145 (LV) 6b4-5. It is noteworthy that the Da shi'er men jing is not the last title in the CSZJJ list. The verbatim correspondence of wording between these two sources raises interesting but difficult questions about the chronological priority between the Bie lu and CSZJJ. A further difficult question is whether one of the two directly borrowed from the other, or whether they drew on a common third source. Consideration of these questions must take into consideration the fact that the Bie lu, as witnessed in two Dunhuang fragments, contains a number of notes displaying such correspondences to the wording of CSZJJ.
