While the \u003ci\u003eSendai kuji hongi\u003c\/i\u003e is generally considered as simply derivative, drawing on \u003ci\u003eKojiki\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNihon shoki\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eKogo shūi\u003c\/i\u003e, John Bentley's careful textual analysis demonstrates that the work has actually drawn from drafts of \u003ci\u003eKojiki\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNihon shoki\u003c\/i\u003e, but not \u003ci\u003eKogo shūi\u003c\/i\u003e, which has quoted from \u003ci\u003eKujiki\u003c\/i\u003e. Thus the work can not be seen as a product of the early Heian era, but must date from the early Nara era. It therewith offers a new look not only into Japanese early Japanese historiography, but also provides a window to a variant view of the Japanese imperial lineage. \u003cbr\u003eThe first three chapters consist of an analysis of the text from a textual analytical and linguistic viewpoint. Sections only found in \u003ci\u003eKujiki\u003c\/i\u003e are then examined and analyzed. With full translation of the ten books of \u003ci\u003eKujiki\u003ci\u003e, and amply annotated text.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"John Bentley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48274073059579,"sku":"9789004152250","price":224.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_6436fba4-77e3-4ea0-8b44-49d6deabc40b.jpg?v=1771338456","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/the-authenticity-of-sendai-kuji-hongi-9789004152250","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
