法華論疏 1.2

1.2

The Commentary on the Treatise on the Lotus Sūtra was composed by Master Jiaxiang. The Great Sōjō of our mountain, Jitsuzōgu, once collated and commented on the base treatise, adding textual emendations, and granted my request to circulate it. Recently, someone rejoiced in printing it and sent an ancient edition. Collating on the basis of that, missing characters and errors were occasionally found. Thereupon, placing them upon the standards and adding Japanese readings to the side, I entrusted it to the block-carver. The carved printing blocks having been completed, the printer requested that I write a preface for it; hence, I record its origin and course.
