The Diamond Sutra is printed in China on May 11 according to the notice from Wang Jye, its printer. This is the earliest complete printed book (actually a scroll) extant, found in 1900 by Aurel Stein in a cave in Kansu (a.k.a. Gansu) province, China. The Diamond Sutra consists of seven large sheets, one with a woodcut picture, pasted together to make the scroll. See also 704 Communication; 1440 Communication.
