It explores issues of authenticity, the valuation of scriptures, and the evolution of libraries and learning in pre-modern China. The author argues for the importance of integrating the history of these catalogs into broader discussions of scripture and canon globally. As a pioneering English-language study, it serves as an essential resource for scholars of East Asian Buddhism.
