Plates -- Tangut version of the Lotus Sutra : Volume 4.. - This volume is the first to treat the Tangut version of the Lotus Sutra in the collection of Princeton University in the USA. The Xixia (Tangut) dynasty occupied a dominant position in the north-western part of what is today China between the 11th and 13th centuries. Despite the disappearance of those who used the Tangut language and its script, the Buddhist culture that prospered there is witnessed today in the form of extensive Buddhist literature. Since the1990s, when Russian collections were opened to research, and especially since the 2000s when research in China substantially increased, research on Tangut has advanced rapidly. The Institute of Oriental Philosophy published the Xixia version of the Lotus Sutra from the collection of the St. Petersburg Branch of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 2005. It contains complete textual material and an illustration with Tangut text of volume 4, which are missing from the version held in Russia. Dr. Shintaro Arakawa, associate professor of Tokyo University of Foreign Studies, contributed detailed studies to the volume.
