SHIXS1 Shi Nai'an: XIUXIANG SHUIHU ZHUAN. (Illustrated Edition of The Water Margin). Nanjing, 1999. Various pagings of folded leaves, Chinese style, of 90 hui (chapters) in 10 ce. 40 reproductions of woodcut illustrations. 10 vols. 29x18 cm. Stitched, cloth case. GBP 65.00 This is basically a high-quality edition of this famous early Ming period novel based - textually, and for the reproduction of the illustrations - on a early extant edition, the Rongyu Tang edition. 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).
