Title: The Sde-dge Mtshal-par Bkaʼ-ʼgyur
Description: The Derge Kanjur. This is a facsimile copy of the parpud, or 'first fruit' printing of the 1733 blocks, meaning it was pressed before later changes were made to the blocks. The edition was produced under the patronage of the Derge King Tenpa Tsering, and the project's chief editor was Palpung Tai Situ Chokyi Jungne. This was one of the first editions of the Tibetan canon to be widely distributed, and is almost universally praised for its clarity. It should be noted that editors in India made numerous changes in preparation for this edition, printed 1976-1979.
