Brill is publishing a new book on sources of Song, Ming, and
Qing administrative Chinese law.
ABOUT THE BOOK
The 1,165 entries of Handbooks and Anthologies for
Officials in Imperial China by Pierre-Étienne Will and collaborators
provide a descriptive list of extant manuscript and printed works—mainly from
the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties—created with the aim to instruct officials
and other administrators of imperial China about the technical and ethical aspects
of government, and to provide tools and guides to help with the relevant
procedures. Both generalist and specialized texts are considered. Among the
latter, such disciplines as the administration of justice, famine relief, and
the military receive particular attention. Each entry includes the publishing
history of the work considered (including modern editions), an analysis of
contents, and a biographical sketch of the author.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Pierre-Étienne Will, Ph.D. (1975), EHESS, is
Professor Emeritus of modern Chinese history at Collège de France. He has
published extensively on the socio-economic history of late-imperial and
early-Republican China, including Bureaucracy and Famine in Eighteenth-
Century China (Stanford, 1990).
