Early Medieval Chinese Texts: A Bibliographical Guide

A guide to primary sources that date from China's early medieval period (late third through sixth centuries) and to later anthologies or reference works concerning them. Ninety-three essays, arranged alphabetically by title, discuss authorship, contents, history of editions, traditional commentaries and assessments, modern scholarship, and translations. Appendices include cross-references to alternate titles, common literary genres, frequently cited sources and collectanea, textual transmission of the standard histories, and non-Western periodical titles.
