AbstractTechnical aspects of Kangyur manuscriptology are discussed. The results indicate the chronological as well as regional order of particular editions, and show that all material features of books are potentially meaningful and traceable.
This article traces the history and provenance of the missing volumes of the Berlin Wanli Kangyur, which was described by Helmut Eimer as lost during World War II. Interdisciplinary research was involved in studying the physical corpus of books, such as the fragments of Kangyur editions from the Jagiellonian Library (Biblioteka Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego) in Cracow (Kraków), Poland (the lost Wanli Kangyur was recently re-discovered within the Pander collection), the University of Michigan Library (Yongle Kangyur), and the Harvard Yenching Library (supplement to Wanli Kangyur). This preliminary examination attempts to authenticate the fragment of the Wanli Kangyur in Cracow as the Berlin Wanli Kangyur on the basis of the history and physical features of the books, and has allowed us to group particular Kangyur volumes from the Pander collection in sets.
