(6) Bibliographies for Traditional Chinese Science & Medical Texts

See also Chinese Science.
Mention should be made of the series of volumes in the 歷代中醫名著文庫, published by 華夏出版社 in Beijing, which began publishing circa 1995. This project, organized by Ren Yingqiu, Ma Jixingg, and others, provides first-rate critical eds. of ancient texts (unfortunately in simplified chars.), with detailed critical notes and substantial, usually innovative, scholarly essays on the text. Some are detailed volume-length treatments of individual texts; so far there is the 醫心方 and 證類本草. Other volumes are collections of texts of a given type. The one on acupuncture, entitled 針灸名著集成, contains about a dozen important works, some extremely rare, and all in superior critical editions. For instance, the illustrations in two well-known works, 銅人俞穴針灸圖經 (1026) and 針灸大成 (1601) are far superior to those previously published; both, for instance, show skeletons as part of acupuncture figures.
