The earliest extant illustrated edition of this ancient Chinese lexicon (and sometime Classic) was produced in 1801 as an accurate facsimile of a Song illustrated imprint. This version, in turn, is a modern facsimile of the 1801 edition, with excellent reproductions of its many fine black-and-white woodcut illustrations and accompanying text. Guo Pu (276-324) of the Jin dynasty is credited as compiling and annotating this version of the 'Erya' which has claims to being considered the first Chinese dictionary. It is basically a philologically valuable collection of early glosses on words in pre-Qin period texts, probably assembled during the Qin or early Han dynasty. This version is a very accurate reproduction of the 1801 edition. In three volumes. The first volume comprises juan Shang and juan Zhong (Parts One and Two); the second volume is juan Xia qian (Part Three; 1), the third and final volume is juan Xia hou Part Three: 2). All text in Chinese. An excellent thing, very well-produced and in a small edition of just 300 copies. Went immediately out-of-print and very difficult to find.
