This book provides complete and annotated translations of six precious scrolls (baojuan) that have never before been translated. An insightful and helpful introduction precedes each translation. The study includes a general survey of the development, origin, context, and popularity of the narrative and concludes with a discussion of available modern editions.
Please find below a more detailed description of Dr. Idema’s book, which is the latest addition to the Cambria Sinophone World Series headed by Dr. Victor Mair (University of Pennsylvania).
