Annotations on the Contemplation Sutra and the Amida Sutra
観無量寿経集註・阿弥陀経集註
The sutra text surrounded by marginal and interlinear notes with quotations from Chinese commentaries, above all Shandao's. They show Shinran's method of study and anticipate the annotated-anthology technique of the Kyōgyōshinshō.
No edition of this work is currently on sale in a store we have been able to verify.
