{"product_id":"zhipans-account-of-the-history-of-buddhism-in-china","title":"Zhipan’s Account of the History of Buddhism in China: Volume 3: Fozu tongji, juan 43-48: The Song Dynasty","description":"The \u003ci\u003eFozu tongji\u003c\/i\u003e by Zhipan (ca. 1220–1275) is a key text of Chinese Buddhist historiography. The core of the work is formed by the “Fayun tongsai zhi,” an annalistic history of Buddhism in China, which extends through \u003ci\u003eFozu tongji\u003c\/i\u003e, juan 34–48. \u003cbr\u003e\r\nThomas Jülch now presents a translation of the “Fayun tongsai zhi” in three volumes. This third volume covers the annalistic display concerning the Song dynasty. \u003cbr\u003e\r\nOffering elaborate annotations, Jülch succeeds in clarifying the backgrounds to the historiographic contents, which Zhipan presents in highly essentialized style. Regarding the historical matters addressed in the material translated for the present volume, the \u003ci\u003eFozu tongji\u003c\/i\u003e  is often the earliest source. In several cases, inaccuracies in Zhipan’s account can however still be discerned, and Jülch succeeds in employing other sources to reveal and correct those errors.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46507693080786,"sku":"9789004680135","price":181.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_715ca5a7-dc96-4116-9fd5-bfe1609905e8.jpg?v=1763106657","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/zhipans-account-of-the-history-of-buddhism-in-china","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
