Similar in size and in duration, the Chinese and the Roman empires
ruled half the world's population at the time of their
co-existence. But what did they know about each other? In China and
the Roman Orient Friedrich Hirth uses linguistic, geographical and
historical analysis of ancient Chinese records to reconstruct the
ancient trade routes used by the Chinese and to show what knowledge
they had of the Roman Empire. His careful research on the original
Chinese sources also tells us much about the geography, history and
commerce of the period. China and the Roman Orient quickly
established itself as a landmark work. It remains an important and
much cited work but is now scarce. This new edition contains a new
introduction by leading contemporary scholar Victor Mair, Professor
of Chinese Language and Literature at the University of
Pennsylvania, USA
