钢和泰《大宝积经迦叶品梵藏汉六种合刊》成书及出版问题探析

A Preliminary Study on the Formation and Publication of The Kācyapaparivarta:A Mahāyānasūtra of the Ratnakūta Class

本文主要利用美国哈佛大学哈佛燕京图书馆藏钢和泰未刊往来书信,通过对英文手稿的辨识与解读,①并结合其他相关文献,探讨钢和泰《大宝积经迦叶品梵藏汉六种合刊》一书的成书及出版过程。丁文江在此书的出版过程中发挥了重要作用,这一点为以往学界所忽视。此外,托马斯(F.W.Thomas)、荻原云来二人也为钢和泰编撰此书提供了重要的参考书籍。可以说,此书的成书及出版是20世纪二三十年代中外学术界交往及出版环境的一个侧面。
