(一)两项著录皆合,惟各有可补:Wriggins 版权页署「Copyright © 1996 by Westview Press, Inc., A Division of HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.」,出版地 Boulder, Colorado(ISBN 0-8133-2801-2),脚注原作「Boulder: Westview Press, 1996」不误,今补出其为 HarperCollins 旗下。Tansen Sen 一书扉页署「ASSOCIATION FOR ASIAN STUDIES and UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI’I PRESS, Honolulu」,属 Asian Interactions and Comparisons 丛书(总编 Joshua A. Fogel),是两社合刊,脚注原只署夏威夷大学一家,今补。

(二)正文生平三项在该书内俱有着落:书内第 7 页作「According to his biographer, Xuanzang was born near Luoyang in the province of Henan in 602. He was the youngest of four sons, an heir to a long line of literati and mandarins.」,生年、籍贯(洛阳近郊,河南)、家世(累世文吏)三事合。(三)须记一层:生年该书自己两存,脚注已补。词汇表(书内第 202 页)作「lived 596- or 602-664 C.E.」;牟复礼(Frederick W. Mote)序径作「Xuanzang’s birth about 596」;版权页所录国会图书馆著录作「Hsüan-tsang, ca. 596-664」。正文第 68 行取 602,是两说之一而非定论;此非误,但读者若翻此书会撞见 596,故在脚注里先说明。
