the secrets of the Tripitaka Koreana woodblocksPak, Sang-jin1940-creatortextbibliographyElectronic book.Electronic books.History.Sacred books.enk2013monographicengkor1 online resource (xvi, 165 pages) : illustrationsThe present volume presents a wood anatomist's study of the Tripitaka Koreana, the world's oldest surviving printing artifact from 13th-century Korea. Whereas existing research on this most comprehensive and accurate version of the Buddhist canon in East Asia has relied primarily on incomplete textual evidence and on less than reliable oral traditions in addressing the secrets of the creation, birthplace, material, and miraculous conservation of the Tripitaka Koreana, the author of this volume looks to physical evidence - the woodblocks themselves - for answers.by Sang-jin Park ; translated by Ji-hyun Philippa Kim.Includes bibliographical references and index.a-kr---BuddhismSacred booksWood-engraving, BuddhistPrintingKoreaHistoryTo 1500Block books, KoreanHistoryTo 1500WoodMicroscopyRELIGIONComparative ReligionInterdisciplinary studiesBuddhist sacred textsBotany & plant sciencesBlock books, KoreanBuddhismWood-engraving, BuddhistPrintingKorea To 1500 fast BQ1217 .P3613 2013eb294.382Pak, Sang-jin, 1940-(DLC) 2014407336(OCoLC)8286208539781443867320144386732220144073369781443867320 Cambridge Scholars Publishinghttp://public.eblib.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=1790928http://site.ebrary.com/id/10934862http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=849513http://www.myilibrary.com?id=645746http://public.ebookcentral.proquest.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=1790928https://nls.ldls.org.uk/welcome.html?ark:/81055/vdc_100031748888.0x000001http://VH7QX3XE2P.search.serialssolutions.com/?V=1.0&L=VH7QX3XE2P&S=JCs&C=TC0001350869&T=marc&tab=BOOKShttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/uvic/detail.action?docID=1790928http://public.eblib.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=1790928http://site.ebrary.com/id/10934862http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=849513http://www.myilibrary.com?id=645746http://public.ebookcentral.proquest.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=1790928https://nls.ldls.org.uk/welcome.html?ark:/81055/vdc_100031748888.0x000001http://VH7QX3XE2P.search.serialssolutions.com/?V=1.0&L=VH7QX3XE2P&S=JCs&C=TC0001350869&T=marc&tab=BOOKShttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/uvic/detail.action?docID=1790928N$T14092220200709060226.0ocn891082071eng
