CBReader 目錄 - 穿梭在藏經閣的書架之間

首先是翻譯成漢文的印度經律論三藏：

• 「01 阿含部」到「10 密教部」屬於經典。
• 「11 律部」是律典。
• 「12 釋經論部」到「16 論集部」是論典與論書。

• 「17 經疏部」到「19 論疏部」，東土古德對印度佛典的漢文註疏。
• 「20 諸宗部」，中國歷代宗派的著述。
• 「21 史傳部」，古中印的佛教歷史、地理、傳記。
• 「22 事彙部」，古代的工具書，包括佛教百科全書和學習梵語的書等等。
• 「23 外教部」，古中印的非佛教資料，例如道教、摩尼教等等。
• 「24 目錄部」，古代中日韓的佛教目錄。
• 「25 古逸部」、「26 疑似部」則是《大正藏》續編第 85 冊的內容，主要是敦煌出土的散逸佛典，以及假借佛說、來歷可疑的經文。

（二）進階原書目錄 [video 03:25]

提供更細的分類。

不僅在第一層顯示藏經代碼，例如《大正藏》是 T、卍續藏是 X，近代新編文獻「藏外佛教文獻」是 ZW 等等，我們看到「阿含部」也依照印刷本進一步分成「阿含部上」和「阿含部下」。

在《大正藏》第一冊（T01）「阿含部上」裡，有《大正藏》編號第一（T0001）到編號第九八（T0098）的經文 。《大正藏》第二冊（T02）「阿含部下」是編號第九九（T0099）到編號第一五一（T0151） 的經文。（圖三）

（三）CBETA 部類目錄 [video 04:04]

如何利用電子文件的特性將關聯的資料組合，以便檢索和使用？

CBETA 參考《大正藏》將佛典分「部」的方式、《大正藏索引》所述的編目構想，以及國內外學者的研究成果，整編所收錄的《大正藏》26「部」（01 阿含部 － 26 疑似部）成為 20 個「部類」（01 阿含部類 － 20 敦煌寫本部類）。以「阿含部類」來說，分成「長阿含經」類、「中阿含經」類（含《中阿含經》T0026 及各種《中阿含經》的單本 T0027-T0094）、「阿含經論釋」類、「阿含經疏」類等等。從 2001 年開始提供「CBETA 版電子佛典部類目錄」，簡稱「CBETA 版經錄」。

後來，我們也陸續增加了第 21 國家圖書館善本部類、第 22 南傳大藏經部類，以及包含所有近代新編文獻的第 23 新編部類。（圖四）

我們也把持續收錄的歷代藏經內容及「CBETA 選集」裡的佛典，依照主題編入各個「部類」。如「事彙部類」裡的「事彙部」，其下的「音義」類則包含了不同藏經版本的音義書，是古人對文字音義方面的註解。（圖五）

透過「簡易原書目錄」、「進階原書目錄」、「CBETA 部類目錄」，仿佛穿梭在藏經閣的書架之間，根據不同的主題，看到一本本書的封面標題。

CBETA Buddhist Electronic Text Archive digitized historical Buddhist canons and modern texts. CBReader offers three catalog options:

In the catalog panel, users may freely switch between these three catalogs to suit different needs.

As a whole, these three tree-structured catalogs are organized by canon or collection at the top level. First listing historical Buddhist canons, followed by modern texts. Both simplified and detailed versions of Original Catalog retain the original structure of printed canons, the CBETA Catalog is a rearranged collection of Buddhist texts organized by theme. (fig.1)

1. Original Catalog (Simplified) [video 00:51]

The main series contains Chinese translations of Indic Tripiṭaka:

• “01 Āgama section” (阿含部) to “10 Esoteric section” (密教部) are Sūtras.
• “11 Vinaya section” (律部) includes canonical monastic codes and disciplinary texts.
• “12 Exegetical Treatise on Sūtra section” (釋經論部) through “16 Collected Exegesis section” (論集部) consist of the Abhidharma and Śāstra texts.

• “17 Commentaries on Sūtra section” (經疏部) to “19 Commentaries to Abhidharma section” (論疏部) are Chinese commentarial literature authored by eminent masters.
• “20 Sectarian section” (諸宗部) contains works from various Chinese Buddhist schools.
• “21 History and Biography section” (史傳部) features Buddhist histories, places, and lives in ancient China and India.
• “22 Reference section” (事彙部) consists of ancient reference works including Buddhist encyclopedias, Sanskrit language manuals etc..
• “23 Non-Buddhist section” (外教部) features texts from ancient China and India outside the Buddhist tradition. For example, materials of Taoism and Manichaeism etc..
• “24 Catalog section” (目錄部) contains historical Buddhist catalogs in East Asia.
• “25 Lost Text section” (古逸部) and “26 Apocrypha section” (疑似部) from the Supplementary Volume no. 85 of the Taishō Tripiṭaka mainly feature rediscovered texts in Dunhuang and pseudepigraphal texts attributed to the Buddha.

2. Original Catalog (Detailed) [video 03:25]

The detailed version retains more info as per printed structure. 

Not only the CBETA canonical codes are displayed at the top level, e.g. Taishō Tripiṭaka (T), Manji Zokuzōkyō (X, 卍續藏), Extra-canonical Literature (ZW, 藏外佛教文獻), the Āgama section, for instance, is also presented as per printed volume, i.e. Taishō vol. 1 (T01 阿含部上) features text no. 1 to 98, whereas Taishō vol. 2 (T02 阿含部下) consists of text no. 99 to 151.

3. CBETA Catalog (Thematic) [video 04:04]

How might digital formats be used to bring related resources together for effective access and research?

CBETA followed the sectional structure of the Taishō Tripiṭaka, the cataloging framework in the Index to the Taishō Tripiṭaka (大正藏索引), and scholarly research from East and West to reorganize the 26 Taishō sections (部) into 20 thematic groups (部類), i.e., “01 Āgama group” (阿含經部類) to “20 Dunhuang Manuscripts group” (敦煌寫本部類). Since 2001, this has formed the “Catalog of CBETA Taisho Tripiṭaka” (CBETA 版電子佛典部類目錄), also known as the “CBETA Catalog” (CBETA 版經錄).

Within the Āgama group, texts are further categorized into families (類 Lei), such as the  “Chang Ahan Jing (長阿含經 Dīrgha Āgama) family”, the “Zhong Ahan Jing” (中阿含經 Madhyama Āgama) family” that consists of the Madhyama Āgama Collection (T0026) and its single discourses (T0027-T0094). There are also the “Āgama Treatises (阿含經論釋) family”  and the “Āgama Commentaries (阿含經疏) family” .

Later, CBETA added the 21st group of National Library Rare Book (國圖善本部類), the 22nd of the Pāli Tipiṭaka (南傳大藏經部類), and the 23rd of Modern Literature (新編部類) which features works compiled in modern times. (fig. 4)

CBETA continues to expand its collection, thus thematically grouping texts from historical canons and the CBETA Selected Collection. For example, the "Phonetic & Semantic (音義) family" in the "Reference section" (事彙部) of the "Reference Group" (事彙部類) , features texts from various canons. These texts are traditional annotations on the meaning and pronunciation of terms. (fig. 5)

Through both simplified and detailed versions of the Original Catalog, and the CBETA Catalog, as if browsing the shelves of a Buddhist repository – discovering titles arranged by theme, one book at a time.
