hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that… encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Hardback. Condition: New. From early times, Daoist writers claimed to receive scriptures via revelation from heavenly beings. In numerous cases, these writings were composed over the course of many nights and by different mediums. New revelations were often hastily appended, and the resulting unevenness gave rise to the impressi…on that Daoist texts often appear slapdash and contain contradictions. A Library of Clouds focuses on the rewriting of Daoist scriptures in the Upper Clarity (Shangqing) lineage in fourth? and fifth?century China. Scholarship on Upper Clarity Daoism has been dominated by attempts to uncover "original" or "authentic" texts, which has resulted in the neglect of later scriptures- including the work fully translated and annotated here, the Scripture of the Immaculate Numen, one of the Three Wonders (sanqi) and among the most prized Daoist texts in medieval China. The scripture's lack of a coherent structure and its different authorial voices have led many to see it not as a unified work but the creation of different editors who shaped and reshaped it over time.A Library of Clouds constructs new ways of understanding the complex authorship of texts like the Scripture of the Immaculate Numen and their place in early medieval Daoism. It stresses their significance in understanding the ways in which manuscripts were written, received, and distributed in early medieval China. By situating the scripture within its immediate hagiographic and ritual contexts, it suggests that this kind of revelatory literature is best understood as a pastiche of ideas, a process of weaving together previously circulating notions and beliefs into a new scriptural fabric.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Early Daoist Hagiographies offers an engaging new translation of six key Daoist texts that illuminate the interplay between religion and literature in medieval China. Five of the texts are hagiographies from the fourth-century Supreme Purity (Shangqing) tradition, attributed to Yang Xi, who claime…d to receive divine revelations from perfected beings during nightly séances. These narratives recount the trials and spiritual practices of early Daoist practitioners who ascended to godhood, serving as models for moral and ritual behavior. Complementing these is the Inner Tradition of Han Emperor Wu, an early sixth-century tale of Emperor Wu's failed pursuit of immortality, blending Daoist cosmology with cautionary themes about human desire. Together, these texts showcase the dynamic ways Daoist religious traditions shaped literary imagination during a period of political upheaval and cultural innovation. They provide insights into early medieval Daoist practices--such as meditative techniques, alchemy, and celestial bureaucracy--while reflecting the social lives and concerns of the era's elite. Through detailed introductions, this book reveals how esoteric Daoist beliefs were adapted into more accessible, popular forms, influencing Tang poetry, historiography, and public memory. The result is a fascinating glimpse into a time when gods, mortals, and cosmic forces converged to create enduring narratives of transcendence and caution.
