Print on paper

金剛經註卷首圖

中國

為元至元六年(1340)刊本。《金剛經註》全本經摺裝,朱、墨套印。卷首圖左上方題「無聞老和尚註/經處產靈芝」,末有「至元六年歲在庚辰解制日寓中興路……」題記。
 畫面中心為一僧人坐於桌前寫經,前設香案。圖左為一年輕弟子挽袖研墨,圖右下方有一戴方巾、蓄長髯之信士合掌恭立。全圖以松樹、雲氣為背景,頗有世外仙境之趣。
 該刊本係以同版分塗朱、墨二色印成,是繼山西應縣佛宮寺釋迦塔發現的遼代(907~1125)漏印套色釋迦牟尼佛說法圖之後,中國最早的雕版套印版畫,較歐洲第一本色印《梅因茲聖詩篇》(Mainz Psaltes)早一百七十年。
 此經文之卷首以朱色印「金剛般若波羅密經」,黑色印「姚秦三藏法師鳩摩羅什詔譯 梁昭明太子加其分目 汝水香山無聞思聰註解」,以下經文為朱色,註釋為黑色。
