摘要
This essay is based on the author's lecture delivered at Bejing University in June 1996 in memory of the late Professor Tang Yongtong, the eminent uddologist and philosopher. The main thesis is to reaffirm Sengyou (445-518), the eminent monk of the Southern Qi dynasty, as the author of the famous Buddhist ollection Chu Sanzang jiji, and refute the ontention since Ming times that it was a composit work compiled in his mame by the literatus disciple Liu Xie (ca. 465-522 ). The evidence is gathered from a careful study of Sengyou's scholarship and writings, particularl his discussions on Sanskrit and its translation into Chinese, and the textual matters in the Chu Sanzang ji, as well as his circle of friends and disciples. After the lectuer, however, the author learned that a similar conclusion was reached by Professor Su Jinren in his recently published annotated edition of Chu Sanzang jiji，which was unavailable to him earlier. Mr. Su's work covers the same issues as the present essay, and the treatment of parts 1,2 and 7 is more thorough, although he misses a few items of source materials. He is correct to state that Senyou's work was already in circulation before the fourteenth year of the Tianjian Era of the Liang dynasty (i.e. A.D.515) and was amended several times thereafter. Mr. Su also identifies six of Singyou's disciples. Readers interested in this topic should consult Professor Su's work for additional information.
