金剛經 董其昌
台灣
董其昌七十歲以後所書，有烏絲界格，計三十七開。此冊頁的第七開中段有「乙丑三月初一日書」之題，可見此冊之書寫，是明天啟五年（1625）三月前後，斷斷續續寫成，應非一時揮運而成之作。
此冊之書法，以楷書為主，用筆使轉較具速度處，則映帶相承。整體有外拓之結字與用筆，仍具體展現董其昌受顏真卿《多寶塔碑》的影響。然而，卷中多出斜勢緊結的單字，遂使整體在平正中，有正奇迭出之妙，令人品味再三，是董氏展現書家能事的精品。
董其昌字玄宰，號思白，又號香光居士。明代（1368～1644）華亭（今上海松江）人，官至禮部尚書。擅書畫，精鑒賞。翰墨習古法而廣集之，倡導書家臨帖如禪，對明末清（1644～1911）初的書風影響甚鉅。
參考釋文：金剛般若波羅蜜經／姚秦三藏法師鳩摩羅什譯／明禮部尚書董其昌書／如是我聞一時佛在舍衛國祇／樹給孤獨園與大比丘眾千二／百五十人俱爾時世尊食時著
