What is more common pronunciation for 本文?


What is more common pronunciation for 本文: ほんぶん or ほんもん? Is it geographically
specific?




What you'll use every day for _text body_ (main part of text) is ほんぶん. The
reading ほんもん is a jargon among historians (inherited more traditional 呉音
pronunciation).

A similar example is 文書. The daily pronunciation is ぶんしょ, which means
_document_ , while in paleographic context it reads もんじょ, to mean _manuscript_
or particularly _epistle_.
