『Altan , tobci』의 사본과 그 편찬년대에 관하여 (『アルタン·トプチ』の寫本とその編纂年代について)

On the Copy and Publication year of Altan tobci

It can not be said that the number of study on [Altar tobci] is bigger than that on other Mongolian materials like [Secret History] or [Erdeni-yin Tobci]. The problem is that most studies on [Altar tobci] has been based on texts published as printed book, while few on old manuscript. However, new study with old manuscript would resolve many problems though it is hard to get the old manuscript. It is sure that only the study based on original text will make possible a new discovery, even if precise age of publication is uncertain. Existing copy is very old, as Liu jin suo and [K-] said. It is related to evaluation on Gomboyev version within [Altar tobciJ. That is, though the evaluation on Gomboyev version is very bad, it would be needed to examinate it again if it is preserving rather original form Indeed, it may offer a source to consider its publication year since there is no record on Bumi Tsinwang.
