The Fozu tongji by Zhipan (ca. 1220-1275) is a key text of Chinese Buddhist historiography. The core of the work is formed by the "Fayun tongsai zhi," an annalistic history of Buddhism in China, which extends through Fozu tongji, juan 34-48.
Thomas J lch now presents a translation of the "Fayun tongsai zhi" in three volumes. This third volume covers the annalistic display concerning the Song dynasty.
