There is also a scripture that does not belong to the Chinese Buddhist Canon, or Daoist Canon, or Baojuan ����.3 In June 2017, the author discovered one volume of the Buddhist text entitled Saddharmapuṇdarīka Sūtra in the Tangut language. This is particularly precious as it is the only extant copy worldwide. These volumes of the Tibetan Kanjur and the Yongle Northern Canon were obtained by a German scholar and collector named Eugen Pander (1854–1894?) who got acquainted with the reincarnated Tibetan Buddhist Master Thu’u bkvan Khutugtu of Yonghe Temple in Beijing. The volumes were shipped to Berlin around 1889 where they were placed in the Museum of Ethnography in Berlin and later moved to the State Library in Berlin. In 1943, the Allied Forces began to bomb Berlin and the Germans made an effort to hide their treasures. They transported over 500 boxes of books from the State Library in Berlin to Książ castle, and then to the Cistercian monastery in Krzeszów. After WWII the region was on the Polish side of the border. All the treasures, including Beethoven’s manuscript of the “Ninth Symphony,” and the Mozart’s manuscript of “Magic Flute,” were transferred as a deposit to the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków.}, type={Article}, title={A Preliminary Report on the Chinese Buddhist Literature Kept at the Jagiellonian Library in Poland}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/116205/PDF/3_ROrient%2072%20z.%202-19%20LONG.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ro.2019.132990}, keywords={Jagiellonian Library, Buddhist scriptures, Chinese Canon, Yongle Northern Canon, Saddharmapuṇḍarīka Sūtra, Tangut language, Miss Hao}, }
