This study focuses on the Sanskrit manuscript collection of the Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā housed at Kōkiji Temple, Ōsaka. It attempts to determine the chronological and diachronic relationships between these and other extant manuscripts, as well as to estimate their dates through palaeographic analysis. At the same time, it examines the linguistic and terminological transformations found within the texts.
