Description: Written on Bamboo and Silk: The Beginnings of Chinese Books and Inscriptions, Second Edition Paleography, which often overlaps with archaeology, deciphers ancient inscriptions and modes of writing to reveal the knowledge and workings of earlier societies. In this now-classic paleographic study of China, Tsuen-Hsuin Tsien traces the development of Chinese writing from the earliest inscriptions to the advent of printing, with specific attention to the tools and media used. This edition includes material that treats the many major documents and ancient Chinese artifacts uncovered over the forty years since the book’s first publication, as well as an afterword by Edward L. Shaughnessy. Tan cloth boards with black designs and lettering with dustcover - Book - good - some dampness damage at the op of the pages making them very slightly warped but not stained or weakened and book is otherwise in very good shape. Dust cover is acceptable - price clipped and has rubbing along all edges
