Les premières impressions des dhāranī de Mahāpratisarā

Drège, Jean-Pierre·1999·Cahiers d'Extrême-Asie

Abstract

Textual elements of a printed dhāranī, found in Sichuan in 1944, have led some scholars to assert that it could have been printed in the middle of the eighth century. If this date is correct, then the dhāranī would be one of the oldest, if not the oldest, xylographed text. This article contests the early dating on the basis of the fact that there are several dhāranī of the same type found in Dunhuang and in central China, dated or undated, which seem more recent and probably were printed from woodblocks not carved before the tenth century.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
