1774159690Likely Beijing: no stated publisher 1774. One polity many languages First edition of this unusual quintilingual work exhibiting the artistic skill of Chinese woodblock carvers. Compiled by the personal Buddhist tutor to the Qianlong emperor - China's Louis XIV - it lists slightly over 1000 buddhas destined to appear in the present Buddhist aeon. We have traced just three institutional copies. Print was a vital vehicle for spreading Buddhist thought throughout the multicultural Qing empire. This compilation based on the Bhadrakalpa Sutra served as an invaluable scholarly and devotional reference for practising and aspiring Buddhists as well as for those charged with producing religious commentaries. It begins with Kakusandha an esteemed buddha of antiquity and lists four names per page with the five different languages Chinese Manchu Mongolian Tibetan and Sanskrit phoneticized in Tibetan arranged vertically. The compilation process was led by the senior court figure Changkya Rölpé Dorjé 1717-1786 Qianlong's principal Buddhist advisor who also oversaw the translation of the Tibetan Buddhist canon into Mongolian and Manchu. The Bhadrakalpa Sutra is a key text in Mahayana Buddhism. Without it the names of many buddhas would otherwise have been lost. The text was first translated into Chinese by Dharmaraska c.233-310 one of the most significant scholarly influences on the growth of Buddhism in East Asia. China's Qing emperors presided over an ethnically heterogeneous empire which continued to expand in the early 18th century with the conquest of Tibet in 1720. Buddhism enjoyed significant state support; for example Qianlong 1735-1796 commissioned paintings depicting him in the form of a Buddhist in an advanced stage of enlightenment. Provenance: several ownership seals of Taijun Inokuchi 1922-2018 a leading Japanese scholar of Buddhism at Kyoto's Ryukoku University with his manuscript cataloguing notes on a sheet of personalized notepaper affixed to the lower flap of the folding case. In 1989 he published a preliminary catalogue of the famous manuscripts unearthed by Paul Pelliot at Dunhuang now housed in the Bibliothèque Nationale de France which have revolutionized scholarly understanding of Buddhism. Volume I contains in-text numerical annotations in red pencil most likely by Inokuchi. This copy then passed to a private collector in the UK. Copies can be found in the Library of Congress Harvard and the Austrian National Library. 2 vols quarto 270 x 200 mm.
