This sub-project will focus on the para-canonical collection known as the rNying ma rgyud 'bum or the "Collection of the Ancient Tantras" of the rNying-ma school of Tibetan Buddhism. The objective is to study the variance exhibited in the various versions of the collection with regard to their length, the number and identity of the individual works contained in them, and their arrangement. This will be done on two levels: (a) Comparing the various collections by creating a concordance which will include a comparison of the individual works: recording variations in their titles and colophons, and differences in their size, content, and placement within the overall arrangement of the collection, (b) Investigating the doctrinal, social, economic, political, and cultural aspects of the formation of the collection; the production of the various versions; and the various roles and functions assignable to the collection. Moreover, the influence of the Xylographie edition on the later transmission of the collection and other possible consequences of this change of medium will be examined.

这一分项目将侧重于藏传佛教宁玛派的准经典集，即“古代密宗集”。其目的是研究在不同版本的集合中展示的差异，关于它们的长度，其中包含的个人作品的数量和身份，以及它们的安排。这将在两个层面上进行：（a）通过建立一个索引，其中将包括对个别作品的比较，对各种收藏进行比较：记录其标题和版权的变化，以及其大小、内容和在收藏总体安排中的位置的差异;（B）调查收藏形成的教义、社会、经济、政治和文化方面;各种版本的制作;以及可分配给集合的各种角色和功能。此外，木刻版的影响，收集和其他可能的后果，这一变化的媒体后来的传输将进行审查。
