General survey on ninth centurie's Siddan documents

尽管人们普遍认识到它作为历史文献的重要性，但《龟开三本》并没有得到应有的研究，因为它的保密性，这通常是由于它对信教教派来说是如此神圣的宝藏，我们很少有机会直接研究它。因此，为了更容易地访问这个文档，我精心设计了一个计算机图像数据库，其中30个notebooks的每一页都完全存储为PICT形式的图像文件。基于这个数据库，(1)我准备提出一个批判版的《30本笔记》，(2)我对西达姆书信中的文本进行了一般性的调查。关于(1)，应该指出的是，自《大正大藏经》出版以来，从未对《三本笔记》的文本与其他手稿或版本进行过逐字比较。然而，后者的文本并不完全完整和可靠，因为令人难以置信的是，它没有整理30本笔记本，例如，由般若翻译成中文的40卷华严经，而只有30本笔记本提供了完整的文本。另一方面，我们在《三本经》的某些文本中（例如《阿陀罗经》）发现了一种难以理解的间断或停顿，这可能暗示了一种询问《三本经》是如何由库凯编纂的方法。计划出版的批判版将在编写时一卷一卷地出版。关于西达姆文本的研究(2)，我的注意力集中在字母和单词（格和变化）的形式上，以及用什么中文字母来翻译相关的梵文单词上，这与迄今为止研究该主题的学者和所有属于信教派的学者不同。我发现了许多不正常的地方，这些将在我正在准备的论文中详细讨论。

In spite of the general aknoledgement of its importance as historical document, the 30 Notebooks of Kukai have not been studied as it should be expected, because of its secrecy which is generally explained by the fact it is so sacred a treasure for the Shingon sect that we have rarely opportunity of a direct examination of it. So to offer an easier acccess to this document, I have elaborated a computer image database in which each page of the 30 Notebools are wholly stored as a image file of PICT form. Based on this database, (1)I am preparing to present a critical edition of the 30 Notebooks and (2)I have made a general inquiry into the texts written in the Siddham letters.As to (1), it should be noted that a letter by letter comparison of the 30 Notebooks' text with other manuscripts or editions has never been made since the publication of the Taisho Tripitaka. The text of this latter is however not entirely complete and reliable as, unbelievably, it does not collate the 30 Notebooks as far as it concerns, for example, the Avatamsaka-sutra in 40 volumes translated in Chinese by Prajna, while only the 30 Notebooks offer a fully complete text of it. In the other hand, we have found in some texst of the 30 Notebooks (Astamandala-sutra, for example) an uncomprehensible discontinuity or stop which may possibly suggest a way to inquire how the Notebooks were made up by Kukai. The planned critical edition will be published volume by volume as it will be prepared.Concerning the study of the Siddham text (2), I have focused my attention, this differently from the scholors who so far have studied the subject and who all belong to the Shingon sect, in the form of letters as well as that of words (cases and conjugations) and in what Chinese letters are used to traslate the related snsckrit words. I have found many irreguralities which will bediscussed in details in my papers I am now preparing.
