It has been known for some time that a large number of rare Sanskrit manuscripts are preserved in Lhasa. In 1961 a collection of 250 manuscripts was sent to the library of the Palace of National Minorities, Beijing. Most of the manuscripts were returned to Lhasa in 1993, but photocopies and microfilms of them were made in 1987 and are kept now in the China Tibetology Research Center (CTRC), Beijing. Recent agreement between the CTRC and the Austrian Academy of Sciences has already enabled two major publications: Jenendrabuddhi’s Pramāṇasamuccayaṭīkā (ch. 1) and Dharmakīrti’s Pramāṇaviniścaya (ch. 1 & 2). (see also Steinkellner 2004, Franco 2006). Further publications on the basis of these precious materials are now under preparation. However, access to these rare documents remains highly restricted. We (my colleague Dr. Chu and myself) are therefore fortunate to have been granted access to a major manuscript (218 leafs, see also the Report in Attachment 2) containing several works, some hitherto completely unknown, of the philosopher Jitāri (ca. A.D. 940-980).Jitāri is a renowned Buddhist philosopher who exercised a strong influence in the later period of the history of South Asian Buddhist philosophy. However, until recently our knowledge about Jitāri has been very limited. A preliminary partial reading has confirmed that at least eleven works are contained in this manuscript: 1. Jātinirākṛti 2. Sāmānyanirārkṛti 3. Īśvaravādimataparīkṣā 4. Avayavinirākaraṇa 5. Vedaprāmāṇyanirākṛti 6. Vijñaptimātratāsasiddhi 7. Apohasiddhi 8. Kṣaṇabhaṅgasiddhi 9. Dvijātidūṣaṇa 10. Bhāvikāraṇavāda 11. Śrutikartṛsiddhi The value of these newly available materials cannot be overstated; they will substantially enrich our knowledge not only of Jitāri's thought, but also of his historical and philosophical relationship to other authors. It will thus allow for a better understanding of the later period of Buddhist philosophy in South Asia. The goal of the proposed project is to prepare an overall survey of the entire manuscript, prepare critical editions and translations of some of treatises listed above together with a historical-philosophical study.

一段时间以来，人们都知道拉萨保存着大量珍贵的梵文手稿。1961年，一套250份手稿被送到北京少数民族宫图书馆。大部分手稿于1993年归还拉萨，但1987年制作了复印件和缩微胶卷，现保存在北京的中国藏学研究中心。CTRC和奥地利科学院最近达成的协议已经使两种主要出版物得以发表：Jenendrabuddhi的Pramāṇasamuccayaṭīkā（第1章）和dharmakurti的Pramāṇaviniścaya（第1和第2章）（另见Steinkellner 2004， Franco 2006）。目前正在编写以这些宝贵材料为基础的进一步出版物。然而，查阅这些稀有文件仍然受到严格限制。因此，我们（我的同事朱博士和我自己）有幸获得了一份主要手稿（218页，另见附件2中的报告），其中包括哲学家Jitāri（约公元940-980年）的几部作品，其中一些迄今为止完全未知。Jitāri是一位著名的佛教哲学家，在南亚佛教哲学史的后期产生了很大的影响。然而，直到最近，我们对Jitāri的了解仍然非常有限。初步的部分阅读已经证实，在这个手稿中至少包含了11部作品：Jātinirākṛti 2。Sāmānyanirārkṛti 3。Īśvaravādimataparīkṣā4。Avayavinirā卡拉ṇ5。Vedaprāmāṇyanirākṛti 6。Vijnaptimā达叻āsasiddhi 7。Apohasiddhi 8。Kṣṇabhaṅgasiddhi 9。Dvijātidūṣṇ10。Bhā维克āraṇavā达11。Śrutikartṛsiddhi这些新材料的价值怎么强调都不为过；他们将大大丰富我们的知识，不仅Jitāri的思想，而且他的历史和哲学关系与其他作者。因此，这将有助于更好地理解南亚后期的佛教哲学。拟议项目的目标是准备对整个手稿的全面调查，准备上面列出的一些论文的批评版本和翻译，以及历史哲学研究。
