In conclusion special reference deserves to be made here to the complete printed roll Ch. ciii. 0014 (Plate C), 16 feet long, containing the Chinese version of Vajracchedikâ, which we had already occasion to mention above on account of its block-printed frontispiece.22 According to its colophon the roll was printed by Wang Chieh on the fifteenth day of the fourth moon of the ninth year of Hsien-tung, corresponding to May II, A.D. 868. It is the oldest specimen of printing so far known to exist, apart from charms.23
