Since the beginning of the twentieth century, hundreds of thousands
of documents of all sorts have been unearthed in China, opening
whole new fields of study and transforming our modern understanding
of ancient China. While these discoveries have necessarily taken
place in China, Western scholars have also contributed to the study
of these documents throughout this entire period. This book
provides a comprehensive survey of the contributions of these
Western scholars to the field of Chinese paleography, and
especially to study of oracle-bone inscriptions, bronze and stone
inscriptions, and manuscripts written on bamboo and silk. Each of
these topics is provided with a comprehensive narrative history of
studies by Western scholars, as well as an exhaustive bibliography
and biographies of important scholars in the field. It is also
supplied with a list of Chinese translations of these studies, as
well as a complete index of authors and their works. Whether the
reader is interested in the history of ancient China, ancient
Chinese paleographic documents, or just in the history of the study
of China as it has developed in the West, this book provides one of
the most complete accounts available to date.
