Research Abstract

Our research is focused on the Japanese readings (Kunten) written on the Classical Chinese Texts of Buddhist books. It is said that in and after the 2nd half of the Heian Era, when the Japanese Buddhist monks copy the Japanese readings, they wrote them in the same manner as their predecessors had done. According to our research, however, this popular theory is obviously wrong. The results of our research are as follows :
1.In the case of some books, for example books on logic (Immyo), the monks partly altered the readings when they copied them.
2.We assume that there were the intention of correcting the errors and outdated expressions among the readings behind these alterations.
3.Consequently, we can know the age of each expression of readings by distinguishing the parts of readings which were altered by the monks from those which remained unchanged.
