Database of Early Chinese Manuscripts
Ed./Corp.: Enno Giele, Society for the Study of Early China, Univ. of
Chicago, USA.
URL.: http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/earlychina/res/databases/decm/
Language: English.
Self description: This is the full and most updated version [last update:
Jan 2000 - HL] of my database that in an abbreviated format accompanies my
review article "Early Chinese Manuscripts: Including Addenda and Corrigenda
to New Sources of Early Chinese History: An Introduction to the Reading of
Inscriptions and Manuscripts", Early China 23-24 (1998-99), 247-337. It
tries to assemble basic information on all known manuscripts - fully
published or not - written in Chinese on bamboo, wood, and silk from the
pre-imperial to the early imperial period, i.e. roughly from the -3rd to the
3rd c. However, a few other manuscripts written on or inscriptions engraved
in stone, bone, or paper from adjacent periods have also been included.
Description: An annotated bibliographic database in two parts. The first
part, "Sites", is a list of sites where manuscript materials have been
found. Entries in this part contain the following information: Serial
Number; Site; Report; Discovery date; Period; Whereabouts; Distribution;
Total pieces; Total graphs. The second part, "Manuscripts", give more
details about the objects themselves: Serial Number; Contents; Material;
Pieces; Size; Graphs; Script; Reproductions/Transcriptions; Remarks.
