Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive collection of East Asian literature from China, Tibet, Mongolia, and Japan, which has been amassed through several expeditions in the early 1900s. It contains rare and historically significant works on philosophy, religion, and literature, many dating back centuries. Most are in their original languages and written in traditional scripts, with examples of block printing prevalent in East Asia before the invention of movable type in Europe. Classics from Japan include works on art and poetry, colorfully illustrated with woodblock prints. The book provides an overview of the development of printing in Japan and contains a rare illustrated manuscript from the early 1600s, the earliest known surviving specimen of a Japanese printed and illustrated book. The collection of Tibetan literature is particularly significant, with a wealth of Buddhist scriptures and commentaries, representing an influential religious tradition that thrived and developed within Tibet. The Manchu collection stands out for the inclusion of rare and unique works, including commentaries on the classics composed by the Manchu rulers, only available due to recent political changes in China. This book offers unparalleled insights into the breadth and depth of East Asian literature, its historical significance, and its varied forms and traditions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
