摘要
This paper explores widely held misconceptions about the publishing of East Asian religious books, bibliographies and canons connected to a tradition that appears to foreswear books altogether – Zen Buddhism in China and Japan. Zen and East Asian Buddhist librarianship are also considered here in terms of a rich history of book collecting, printing, and distributing in China and in Europe.
