Critical Entry Revisions<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n

The CBETA critical edition revises certain types of original critical entries. A few examples, based on the Taisho Tripitaka, are provided below:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Revised Content Note<\/b>: Display the revisions made by CBETA.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Interleaved Entries<\/b>: Multiple entries overlap.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Annotations<\/b>: Annotated with phrases such as “as main text”, “as interlinear notes”, etc.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Ellipsis Marks<\/b>: Entries containing ellipses (\u2026) are expanded where appropriate.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Missing Entries<\/b>: The main text contains a siglum without corresponding entry; the symbol is either omitted entirely or accompanied by a “CBETA Note” detailing the context.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Edition Abbreviations<\/b>: The edition abbreviation \u3010\u4e09\u3011 is converted to \u3010\u5b8b\u3011\u3010\u5143\u3011\u3010\u660e\u3011, and \u3010\u4e09\u3011\uff0a to \u3010\u5b8b\u3011\uff0a\u3010\u5143\u3011\uff0a\u3010\u660e\u3011\uff0a.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • CBETA Consulted Editions<\/b>: Editions consulted independently by CBETA are identified by the suffix ‘-CB’. For example,\u3010\u9e97\u3011indicates a record from the original critical apparatus, while\u3010\u9e97-CB\u3011indicates a record from CBETA’s consultation of the Goryeo Canon.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Special CBETA Notes<\/b>: Certain special entries are marked with a “CBETA Note” that directly explains the relevant editorial context.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Unclear Characters<\/b>: Illegible characters in the printed source are represented by \u2586.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Missing Abbreviations<\/b>: Omitted edition abbreviations are represented by\u3010\u25a0\u3011or displayed exactly as they appear in the original source text.”<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Character Substitution<\/b>: “\u304b” is consistently changed to “\u30f5”.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Subdivided Note Numbers<\/b>: Some critical note numbers are subdivided using a, b or A, B.
      \n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
    • Splitting Entries<\/b>: The lowercase letters a and b indicate instances where CBETA has split a single entry into two.\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\n
      \n
      For example:\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\n
      T01n0023_p0277a03\u2551[1a]\u5927[1b]\u6a13\u70ad\u7d93\u5377\u7b2c\u4e00\n
      [0277001a] \u3014\u5927\u3015\uff0d\u3010\u5b8b\u3011\u3010\u5143\u3011\u3010\u660e\u3011\n
      [0277001b] \uff08\u4f5b\u8aaa\uff09\uff0b\u6a13\u3010\u660e\u3011\uff0a\n<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
    • Distinguishing Identical Numbers<\/b>: The uppercase letters A and B refer to instances where there are two identical critical note numbers in the main text of the Taisho Tripitaka, which CBETA differentiates as A and B.\n
      \n
      For example:\n
      T27n1545_p0003a19_##\u96e3\u89ba\u4e0d\u53ef\u5c0b\u601d\u975e\u5c0b\u601d\u5883\u3002[02A]\u552f\u6709\u5fae\u5999\u8070\u53e1\n
      T27n1545_p0003b05_##\u4f5c\u7a2e\u7a2e\u7570\u8aaa\u3002\u7136\u963f\u6bd8\u9054\u78e8\u52dd\u7fa9\u81ea\u6027[02B]\u552f\u7121\u6f0f\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000<\/ul>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000<\/ul>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
