Synopsis

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Sacred Books of China Part 1 (1879), translated by James Legge, is Volume III of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book, in six parts, focuses on Confucianism and Taoism. Part 1 contains "The Texts of Confucianism," including the Shu King and the Shih King, some of the most important classics of this ancient faith. This text is a valuable addition to the personal library of scholars and those interested in Confucianism.
