About the work

A single-fascicle structural-outline ( 科) of Dàoxuān’s (道宣) Sìfēnlǜ shí píní yìchāo 四分律拾毗尼義鈔 (KR6k0176) by Yuánzhào 元照 (元照, 1048–1116). Author signature: 餘杭靈芝蘭若 元照 錄 (Recorded by Yuánzhào, of the Língzhī monastery in Yúháng).

Prefaces

No separate preface; the opens directly with its two-fold structural division — jiàokān yìchāo xù kēfēn 校勘義鈔序科分 (“structural division of the corrected preface to the Yìchāo”) — and proceeds piān-by-piān through Dàoxuān’s lemma structure.

Abstract

The serves as the structural index for the parent text KR6k0176 Sìfēnlǜ shí píní yìchāo in Yuánzhào’s jiàokān 校勘 (collated) recension. Yuánzhào’s preface to the Yìchāo (preserved at KR6k0176 No. 747-A) is here divided structurally; the two works together constitute a coherent late-eleventh-century Língzhīsì 靈芝寺 editorial project to recover and structurally analyse Dàoxuān’s lesser-known Vinaya digest. Composition belongs to Yuánzhào’s mature period (post-1075).
