Of the many legends about female manifestations of the widely popular East Asian bodhisattva, Quanyin, the most popular recounts her mortal life as the Princess Miaoshan (Marvelous Goodness), and the most popular version of that is titled The Precious Scroll of Incense Mountain. Idema (Chinese literature, Harvard U.) presents an English translation of the later and shorter text, which was circulated among her devotees during the later 19th and early 20th centuries. She also presents The Precious Scroll of Good-in-Talent and Dragon Girl, that tells how she acquired her three characteristic disciples. No index is provided.
