Sommario/riassunto

Situated between Po Valley and the Mediterranean Sea, Liguria appears as a rainbow-shaped and mountainous island, extending from the Tuscan sandy shores of Versilia to the French Alps. Through several modern and contemporary poets and novelists, Pagano illustrates fragile beauty of this quintessential Mediterranean landscape.

Sommario/riassunto

Open Access This open-access book provides a concise analysis of the apex of team-based translation of Buddhist scriptures during the Tang Dynasty, initiated by the notable gathering of translation experts led by Prabhākaramitra. Showcasing the diverse and innovative strategies of translators who joined forces to surmount barriers, this work highlights how their collaborative translation efforts facilitated the spread of Buddhist teachings throughout China. This book brings to light the often overlooked yet crucial roles of these translation teams and



examines their organizational structures, translation processes, and the distinct roles of individual members, offering critical insights into the cultural and religious fabric of the period. By enhancing our understanding of the complex dynamics within these institutions, this work also addresses a significant gap in the historical study of sūtra translation in medieval China. It is an essential resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of Buddhism, translation studies, and Chinese history.
