AbstrActThePramā?avārttika of the sixth-seventh century Dharmakīrti is one of the major mo-numents of Indian Buddhist philosophical thought. It was translated a number of times into Tibetan and its final translation by the team of?ākya?rībhadra (1127-1225) and Sa skya Pa??ita (1182-1251) has come down to us in quasi-edited form in the eighteenth century xylographs of the editions of the Tibetan Buddhist canon as well as in the so-called Golden Manuscript that also dates from this century. The earliest xylograph of this work derives from printing blocks that were prepared towards the end of the thirteenth century in Dadu, the capital of the Mongol Yuan dynasty. This short paper introduces this extremely rare xylograph that was recently put on exhibit in the National Library, Beijing.
