A propos de cet article

Presumed first printing of the first edition, 1903-1904. Later reprinted in China and Taiwan. Principal text in English and with extensive secondary text and notes in Chinese. 2 volumes bound in 1. Approx. 10.25 x 7.5 inches. Rebound in decorative hardboards with gold-tone striped Japan paper boards, and the spine and corners with half linen [or linen-like fabric] of beige tweed-like weaving. Black morocco spine label, with crisp gilt-stamped titling. Leather spine label from previous binding separately preserved and included with the book. Unbumped spine head and tail, and sharp corners. Minor stains to boards, light rubbing to front panel; else a very clean binding. viii, 258, [2]; vi, [263]-595 pp. on fine quality matte stock. Brief gift inscription by author in a neat ink hand on the half title page; translated from the German it reads 'Herrn. F. Lessing, with cordial regards from the author.' Vol. I with 3 plates, including frontispiece, fold-out of Amita's Holy Name, and photo of robe and cap for deceased female. Vol. II with full-page map of Shantung and vicinity. A few marginal notes in a neat ink hand and very moderate age toning along the page extremities. A Very Good Plus to Near Fine copy; scarce in any condition. 3 lbs. 12 oz. This opus is a history of religious groups and persecution in imperial China. It extensively documents the historical persecution of religious sects and Daoist/Buddhist groups in imperial China. The text investigates state-level suppression, laws, and official decrees used to outlaw "heterodox" and secret sectarian societies (often broadly labeled jiao or baijiao) deemed politically subversive by the imperial government. De Groot translates and analyzes numerous original Chinese government documents, edicts, and penal codes (such as the Da Qing Luli) spanning centuries of Chinese history. It remains a foundational historical text for understanding the intersection of religion, dynastic control, and social rebellion in late imperial China. Not for the faint of heart; some of the descriptions of particular persecutions can be graphic to the point of gruesome. Jan Jakob Maria de Groot [1854-1921] was a Dutch sinologist and historian of religion. He taught at the Leiden University and later at the University of Berlin, and is remembered for his monumental work, The Religious System of China, Its Ancient Forms, Evolution, History and Present Aspect, Manners, Customs and Social Institutions Connected Therewith, as well as for the present book, Sectarianism and Religious Persecution in China.…

Description de la boutique

Welcome to the books platform of Marc Sena Carrel. I operated a professional book business between 2003 and 2017 in the San Francisco Bay Area, including via AbeBooks, and I am now a private party selling off fine books from my personal collection. I carry a choice selection of books, prints and ephemera for the discriminating customer. I focus on scholarly and antiquarian books, with a special emphasis on art books. From time to time I also offer original prints, including but not limited to antique Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Additionally I go in for occasional ephemera. Currently on offer via Abebooks are select titles. My selection is more eclectic and off the beaten path than mainstream and predictable. Please e-mail me at marcsenacarrel@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns. I will be happy to be of service. Thank you.…
