The Besson zakki; (Assorted Notes on Individual Divinities). 57 fasc. (TZ.3007.3.57-675), compiled by Shinkaku 心觉 (1117-1180). One of the most important iconographic works in the Japanese esoteric tradition, it documents dozens of divinities, detailing the relevant testimonials 印心, sa^dhana 观法, man!d!alas, and iconography for each. Drawing on both the Shingon and Tendai traditions, it classifies the objects of veneration 本尊 into buddhas, bodhisattvas, avalokite/svaras, vidyara^jas, gods, and so on. Superb illustrations accompany lengthy (and often repetitive) quotes from various ritual texts.
