About this Item
Description:
8vo, pp. xiv, 372; text illustrations throughout; full blue cloth, gilt title on spine; owner's stamp on endpaper, a little musty, very good, in lightly edge-worn dust jacket. The T'ien-kung Kai-wu was first published in 1637. "Although not the oldest Chinese work on technological subjects, it is the only one extant of such encyclopedic scope. Its eighteen chapters, profusely illustrated with original woodcuts, cover practically all the major industrial techniques, from agriculture, textiles, mining, metallurgy, and chemical engineering to the building of boats and the manufacturing of weapons. Seldom in any language has so vast an amount of factual information been presented in such compact form.". Seller Inventory # 64749
