It is well-known that the text of the Chinese translation of the Sutra of the Wise and the Fool (Taisho col. 4,No. 202) survives in two lineages: (1) the Korean Canon version, which contains 62 stories; and (2) the Yuan-Ming Canons recension which has 69 stories. Both versions are divided into 13 scrolls 十三巻. On the other hand, the majority of the Japanese manuscripts copied during the Heian and Kamakura Periods amount to 17 scrolls. Furthermere, the Heian-kamakura MSS lineage also shows differences in the order of the chapter titles. The dissmilarities in the scroll division and chapter order between various textual witnesses (Khitan Canon, Korean Canon, Song Canon, Yuan-Ming Canons, Todaiji MS, Dunhuang MS) as well as in the citations in the Jing lu yi xiang 經律異相 have been analysed by Fukui Rikichiro 福井利吉郎. According to the Japanese scholar, the Todaiji 東大寺 MS consists of 16 scrolls. In this paper, I focus on the examination of three newly discovered textual witnesses: (1) the Kongo-ji 金剛寺 MS in 8 scrolls, dating from the Lamakura Period; (2) the Nanatsudera 七寺 MS in 16 scrolls, copied at the end of the Heian Period; and (3) the Saiho-ji 西方寺 MS in 8 scrolls, which goes back to the Kamakura Period. I also discuss Fukui's hypothesis in the light of these new findings.
