O článku:
This is a review article of a paper by Prof. Nicholas Koss entitled “A Look at the Xiyou ji (Journey to the West) from the Perspectives of Biblical Textual Criticism”, delivered at the Second International Workshop on the Bible in Modern China, organized by Fu Jen University in Taipei, Taiwan, 5 – 8 January 2002.3 In his experimental approach, the author applied certain methodologies of Biblical textual criticism to the research on the famous classical Chinese novel Xiyou ji (Journey to the West). Based on his previous research on the dating of earlier Xiyou ji editions, Nicholas Koss sought to make a distinction between layers of text written in different periods by various hands in order to document the development of the story from oral recensions to printed editions. As interesting as this paper is, it has not appeared in print since, in spite of repeated pleas to the author, Prof. Koss never revised his manuscript for publication. During the research for his PhD. dissertation on the Xiyou ji, the present author was encouraged by Nicholas Koss to test his methodology. This review is therefore a summary of the unpublished manuscript along with a report on the findings, offering a critical perspective on this methodology of textual criticism.
