Overview

From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: The Digital Database of Buddhist Tripitaka Catalogues is dedicated to collected and constructed multi-lingual Tripitaka catalogues. In our database, there are 22 editions and about 33,700 catalogs from Chinese Buddhist Tripitaka, including the stone carved “Fangshan Shijing”. The Tibetan Buddhist Tripitaka has about 4,569 catalogues, the Pali Tipitaka has 7,003 catalogues of Nikaya and Agama suttas, and there are also Sanskrit catalogs, deriving mainly from the manuscripts found in Central Asia. Our goal is not only digitizing these documents, but also setting up a search facility on the web for public use. Through the key words searching, users will conveniently acquire comprehensively information from different sources of various editions and versions of Tripitaka catalogs, and link to the corresponding full text.
