Critical Entry Revisions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n

CBETA revises some of the original critical entries, and the critical apparatus of the CBETA edition records all revisions made. With the Taisho Tripitaka as an example, below is the scope of revision:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Overlapping entries.<\/b><\/li>\n\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Annotation <\/b> of “main text”(\u4f5c\u672c\u6587), ” interlinear notes”(\u4f5c\u593e\u8a3b), 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>: When the main text contains a siglum without corresponding entry, the symbol is either omitted entirely or accompanied by a “CBETA Note” (CBETA \u6309) detailing the context.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Convertion of Abbreviations<\/b>: The edition abbreviation\u3010\u4e09\u3011is 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 (\u3010-CB\u3011)<\/b>: Editions consulted independently by CBETA are identified by the suffix “-CB”. For example,\u3010\u9e97\u3011indicates a record from the critical entry of the Taisho Tripitaka (source edition), while\u3010\u9e97-CB\u3011indicates CBETA’s collation of the Goryeo Canon (\u9ad8\u9e97\u85cf).<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • CBETA Note (CBETA \u6309)<\/b>: Some 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 changed to “\u30f5”.<\/li>\n\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000\u3000
  • Subdivided Note Numbers<\/b>: Some apparatus numbers are subdivided into 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 an original 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
      \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 apparatus numbers in a same text, e. g. 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[2A]\u552f\u6709\u5fae\u5999\u8070\u53e1\n
      T27n1545_p0003b05_##\u4f5c\u7a2e\u7a2e\u7570\u8aaa\u3002\u7136\u963f\u6bd8\u9054\u78e8\u52dd\u7fa9\u81ea\u6027[2B]\u552f\u7121\u6f0f\n
