两种西夏藏文刻本考释

Research of Two Tibetan Carving Copies in the Western Xia

论述了西夏刻本《顶髻尊胜佛母陀罗尼咒》和《八千颂》的文字特点、版式产生的缘由和刊刻年代等问题。认为西夏刻本《顶髻尊胜佛母陀罗尼咒》有第三次文字厘定前的文字特点,其版式为藏汉结合的册页线装,是西夏的早期刻本。而《八千颂》残页版式与元末明初或稍晚出现的四周双边的版式相同,怀疑是后期作品。

Rigs-kyi gtsug-tor Ushnishavijaya Ronnie Mantra is the early carving copy of the Western Xia with word characteristics before the third word regulation and in format of Tibetan-Chinese combination of album leafs.

In this paper, word characteristics, the reasons of the format and the time of carving of the two carving copies are discussed.
