Description

The purpose of this article is to correct the mispagination of The Miscellaney of the Daijoin Temple, Vol.182, by means of the following process. First, many articles in The Miscellaney are concerned with Buddhist memorial services, most of which occurred annually at fixed dates. By paying attention to these dates, the mispagination can easily be corrected. In fact, the author of this article first discovered the mispagination, when he noticed that all the memorial services of January were misclassified under March. Secondly, it is possible to fix the dates of events other than memorial sevices by comparing The Miscellaney with another source, The Index of the Journal of the Daijoin Temple, since they had the same writer, Jinson, who based The Index on information he extracted and summarized from The Miscellaney. Thirdly, though these two steps correct most of the mispagination errors, the remaining errors can be eliminated by paying attention to differences in the folios of the original papers (such changes cannot be ascertained in the printed version). If the folios of the orignal papers are different, the fact that the dates seemingly continue sequentially does not prove that the dates are of the same month. Why has such simple mispagination gone undiscovered for so long? The author believes that it is because students, intent on discovering materials directly related to their own research topic, have not really read the source itself and so overlooked its all too obvious mispagination. The author of this article also suspects that such negligence on the part of researchers has stemmed from their neglect of the fact that The Miscellaney is a record of a temple and that an important part of this source is comprised of articles about Buddhist services.
