Summary
This volume, containing a translation, annotations, and historical studies of Giun's (1200-1253) Verse Comments on Dōgen's 'Treasury of the True Dharma Eye' (Shōbōgenzō honmokuju), represents the initial book-length contribution to a crucial though previously unnoticed sub-field in Japanese Buddhist studies involving text-historical and literary-philological examinations of a key example of the copious premodern collections of annotations and interpretations of the masterwork of Zen master Dōgen. It is the first study of the life and thought of Giun and of the 60-fascicle version of Dōgen's masterwork, which are crucial for understanding the history of the St Zen Buddhist sect's intellectual development.
Note
Some text translated from the Japanese.
