Fei Changfang
Fei Changfang (Chinese: 費長房; pinyin: Fèi Chángfáng; fl. 562–598) was a Chinese Buddhist monk, biographer, and bibliographer, from Chengdu. His biography is recounted in the Book of the Later Han. He began as a scholar of the Chinese classics of Confucianism and Daoism, but was converted to Buddhism and became involved in translation work with various Indian monks at the Daxingshan Temple
He is known for his catalogue of Buddhist texts Records of the Three Treasuries Throughout Successive Dynasties (Chinese: 《歷代三寳記》 ;T2034), compiled 597 CE, which was influential in the development of the Chinese Buddhist Tripitaka, however he has come to be known for controversially attributing texts to translators without foundation.[1]
