Tangut Language And Manuscripts An Introduction Brill Jinbo Shi Hansong Li by Jinbo Shi; Hansong Li 9789004414549, 9004414541 instant download after payment.

In Hansong Li's translation of Tangut Language and Manuscripts, Shi Jinbo offers by far the fullest introduction to the Tangut script, grammar and manuscripts, which lay the foundation of historical narratives of Western Xia.
This book is the first comprehensive introduction to the Tangut language and culture. Five of the fiſteen chapters survey the history of Western Xia and the evolution of Tangut Studies, including new advancements in the field, such as research on the recently decoded Tangut cursive writings found in Khara-Khoto documents. The other ten chapters provide an introduction to the Tangut language: its origins, script, characters, grammars, translations, textual and contextual readings. In this synthesis of historical narratives and linguistic analysis, the renowned Tangutologist Shi Jinbo offers a guided access to the mysterious civilisation of the ‘Great State White and High’ to both a specialized and a general audience.
Shi, Jinbo is a Fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. Shi has published widely on Tangutology, including Study of the Sea of Characters (1983), Western Xia Publishing (2004), and Economic Records of Western Xia (2017).
Li, Hansong, B.A. University of Chicago, M.Phil. University of Cambridge, is a scholar of intellectual and international history at Harvard University.
