Library

The ancients classed all literature into the following:

• Rhetoric
• Law
• Epic
• Tragedy
• Comedy
• Lyric Poetry
• History
• Medicine
• Mathematics
• Natural Science

Obviously there are some works which parts fall into many genres, & others which are altogether extraordinary.

This is a catalogue of my personal library. Recommendation of translations prioritize: being based on majority text types, i.e non-critical; & use archaic—or older—language, which is less demeaned. But considered also, of course, is the character of the translators.

My use of Wade-Giles is not an endorsement of Taiwanese independence, but rather, follows the traditional English spelling of Chinese.
