贈檜樓和尚詩帖 釋守仁
中國
此卷為守仁禪師書與檜樓和尚詩帖，記錄其自作詩二首。凡二十二行，二百一十一字。內容述及兩人之友情和轉致問候之作。
該帖幾乎全以草書為之，但草法圓熟，通篇毫無遲疑之處，可見其多用心致力於書法之學習。線質略有趙孟頫之風，而其草字構形略簡，又有長形之態，是自元代（1271～1368）書法家康里子山一路而下的草書風貌，可謂善於承繼者。
守仁字一初，號夢觀、寄傲軒，為元末明（1368～1644）初的高僧，曾從學楊維楨，後於明洪武十五年（1382）徵授僧錄司右講經。一生力倡釋、儒合一，善以佛教經論與儒家經籍相融而弘法。
參考釋文：近作二首錄上／檜樓和尚尊兄法師用代／安問／立春日早朝次葉見泰韻／雞鳴南埭九關開馳道香塵／逐馬來兩掖／●（豸+比）休嚴夜直五城／鐘鼓報春迴青陽有令行夷／夏洪澤無私被草萊京尹／陛前稱賀罷豐年生意遍田垓／元日早朝見泰韻
