The Book in Japan: A Cultural History from the Beginnings to the Nineteenth Century de Peter Kornicki

The Book in Japan: A Cultural History from the Beginnings to the Nineteenth Century: Handbook of Oriental Studies. Section 5 Japan, cartea 7

Autor Peter Kornicki
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 apr 1998
This study deals with all aspects of the history of the book in Japan, from the production of manuscripts and printed books to book-collecting, libraries, censorship and readership. It also sets books in the context of Japan's cultural ties with China, Korea and Parhae.
The focus is on the history of both texts and physical books. This encompasses not only books in Japanese but also books in Chinese by Chinese and Korean authors, and some Western books as well.
It is an essential reference tool and bibliographic guide for all those interested in book studies, and particularly of importance for historians of Japanese culture. It is illustrated with examples taken from various collections of early Japanese books in Europe.

Recenzii

'Kornicki has given us a handsome and beautifully organized handbook that is sure to inform and stimulate research for many years to come.'
J. Marshall Unger, The Journal of Asian Studies.
'Kornicki's work is a landmark in Western language historiography on books in Eastern Asia. It ranks in importance with T.S. Carter's The Invention of Printing in China and Its Spread Westward, which startled the world of book-lovers some seventy years ago.'
William R. Braisted, Library & Culture, 1999.
'…Kornicki's scholarship is exemplary and his contribution enormous, even signalling a new era in the study of Japanese culture. The Book in Japan adds a new and more substantial basement to the already half-built edifice of Japanese cultural study.'
Charles Shiro Inouye, Harvard Journal of Asiatic Studies, 2000.
