Mr. Nagy,
Thank you so much for your assistance. Very helpful. Just to confirm that the original calligraphy was done by Xie Jinshen, 1369 - 1415. Per your response, the rubbing is possibly vintage, a copy of a steel rubbing. Question, who was Wangtang Xueshi, court scholar that you mentioned and his relationship to either the calligrapher or the individuals responsible for the rubbing or copy of the rubbing? The copy is quite large and the mounting has damages, water stains, holes, areas that are torn and one end of the dowel stick is missing. We are considering having the piece remounted. Again, your help is sincerely appreciated. Ed
