Kanki on fol. 30b of maki 下 reads: 寛文五乙巳年重陽吉旦 ／ 一條鶴屋町田原二左衛門尉梓行. Description: 2 kan, formerly in 2 satsu, now rebound in 1 vol. western style. (Maki 上) ff. 34; (maki 下) ff. 30. 27.8 x 18.5 cm. Fukurotoji. Blockprint. Printing frame 21.4 x 15.3 cm. Double-line borders all round. No fishtail design on hanshin. Kanbun text with printed okurigana and kaeriten. 10 lines to page, 19-20 characters to line. Renewed light blue front covers of maki 上 and 下, with embossed floral design. Renewed title slips with manuscript gedai: 金剛般若經疏論纂要. In a western style half-leather binding. Edition: Although this copy bears the same kanki as 16006.b.26, close examination reveals unmistakable differences in hanshiki and shape of characters between the two. Evidently one is a fukkoku printed from re-cut blocks and repeating the original kanki, but it is impossible on available evidence to judge which is which.
