Cuisance F. Manuscript 2547 at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France: Chinese Pelliot Collection (Study and Restoration Project) // Manuscripta Orientalia. Vol. 8. No. 1. March 2002. P. 62—70.
Manuscript 2547 (sec fig. 1) kept at the Biblilothèque
nationaic de France contains three sets of texts. The first
one (leaves 1–13) has been identified by comparing them
with other manuscripts as a copy of the Zhai Wanwen,
a collection of eulogies, some of which were used by
state administration on ceremonial occasions. The official
titles mentioned in the table of contents indicate that these
eulogies must have been composed before 710, under
Zhongzong’s second reign. The second text in the manuscript
consists only of one leaf (leaf 14) comprising
eulogies for the use in the Area Administration office
(dufufu) of Liangzhou; one of the eulogies can be dated to
Xuanzong’s reign, i.e. between the 17th and the 27th year
of Kaiyuan (729—739). (The whole manuscript must have
been copied at this time.) The third text on leaf 15 is a funeral
oration dedicated to the Buddhist monk Yixing,
mathematician and astronomer, who died 25 November
727 and whose state burial was performed twenty-one days
later in the countryside east of the capital Chang’an.
The manuscript contains fifteen folded leaves in all.
Only the inner sides of the leaves have text written by
a single copyist in a fine, neat and small-size handwriting.
The text is in columns (18 to 20 mm wide).
The manuscript was repaired several times: it bears
the signs of an old restoration (8th century). In our days it
was restored twice, in 1954 and 1964, at the Bibliothèque
nationale, when the leaves were lined with paper and chiffon
without removing the binding. The study of the manuscript
and its presentation became possible after partially
removing the chiffon that came off without any difficulty...
