LUOXS2 Luo Guanzhong: XIUXIANG SANGUO YANYI. (Illustrated Edition of The Romance of the Three Kingdoms). Nanjing, 1999. Various pagings of folded leaves, Chinese style, of 120 hui (chapters) in 10 ce. 62 reproductions of woodcut illustrations. 10 vols. 29x18 cm. Stitched, cloth case. GBP 65.00 A high-quality edition of this famous late Yuan-early Ming period novel based - textually, and for the reproduction of the illustrations - on the early Qing edition in which the number of chapters was standardized, produced by the father-son team of Mao Lun and Mao Zonggang. But rather than being a facsimile, this is a contemporary resetting and reediting which takes into account later editions of the text. It is designed as a quality reading text in the traditional format of the Chinese book, stitch-bound folded leaves. In Chinese only (traditional characters).
