Medieval scribes used a number of different methods to correct mistakes and omissions. This one used the figure of a man pulling the omitted portion of the text towards the place it belonged.

What Is the Diamond Sutra? The Oldest Printed Book in the World

We explore the fascinating story behind the Diamond Sutra, thought to be the oldest printed book in the world.

By Maysara Kamal

https://www.thecollector.com/what-is-the-diamond-sutra/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond_Sutra

Front line of the Chinese Diamond Sūtra, printed in the 9th year of the Xiantong era of the Tang dynasty, i.e. 868 CE, the oldest known dated printed book in the world. British Library

The colophon, at the inner end, reads: Reverently [caused to be] made for universal free distribution by Wang Jie on behalf of his two parents on the 13th of the 4th moon of the 9th year of Xiantong [i.e. 11th May, CE 868 ].
