Cover Figure: After an engraving taken from the Zhiming suanfa (Clearly explained computational

[arithmetical] methods). This popular book, edited by a certain Wang Ren'an at the end of the

Qing dynasty, is widely influenced by Cheng Dawei's famous Suanfa longzong (General source of

computational methods)(195z).Cf. Kodama Akihito (z'), 1970, pp. 46-52.

The reproductions of the Stein 930 manuscript and a page of a Manchu manuscript preserved at the

Bibliotheque Nationale (Fonds Mandchou no. 191) were made possible by the kind permission of the

British Library (India Office and records) and the Bibliothkque Nationale, respectively. For this we
