Classified Books : Chinese encyclopedias
Under the Chinese word leishu translated by " encyclopedia " rests a kind of books with nebulous limits. These classified collectanea of quotations very often cover all the fields of knowledge and cannot be assimilated with anthologies and florilegia. This is a particular and extremely compound kind of compilation. It can gather literary or biographical anecdotes as well as administrative documents or Buddhist or Daoist facts and ideas. Chinese
encyclopedias are sometimes as short as an ordinary vademecum or include several thousands of chapters and can be compiled by only one scholar or by a few thousands of scholars employed in a State enterprise of cultural splendor. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
