Re: [INDOLOGY] chinese translation of Nāgārjuna's Prajñāmūlaśāstraṭīkā

[Jonathan Silk]

Beste Herman,

Als wij vanuit het volgende kunnen leren, de "Prajñāmūlaśāstraṭīkā" is
eigenlijk de *Zhonglun*, de chinese vertaling van Nāgārjuna's MMK met een
commentaar van *Piṅgala. Vide: Samuel Beal, "The *Chong-lun sūtra* or
*Prajñāmūlaśāstraṭīkā *of Nāgārjuna", IA 10, 1881, 87-89. Maar, er is hier
een verwarring: Als wij in Wikipedia kunnen lezen: "*Xu Gan* (170 - 217)
was a philosopher and poet of the late Han Dynasty
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_Dynasty>....He is best known in the West
for his discourse on the relationship between the names and actualities,
preserved in his treatise *Zhonglun
<https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zhonglun&action=edit&redlink=1>*,
the Balanced Discourses." In weerwil van hetzelfde titel, dit is niet
hetzelfde werk als die van Nāgārjuna. U kunt hier verder vinden:

Excuses voor mijn slechte nederlands!
