This second volume of the ongoing annotated translation of Ssu-ma Ch'ien's Shih chi (The Grand Scribe's Records), widely acknowledged as the most important early Chinese history, contains the """"basic annals"""" of five early Han-dynasty emperors. The annals trace the first century of Han rule (206 b. c. to ca. 100 b. c.) in a year-by-year account that focuses on imperial activities. In these later annals, Ssu-ma Ch'ien revitalized the style he had employed in accounts of previous rulers in the opening chapters of The Grand Scribe's Records. When this translation is completed, it will make available in English all 130 chapters of the Shih chi. Volumes 1 and 7 were published by Indiana University Press in 1994. | The Grand Scribe's Records Volume Ii by William H. Nienhauser, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
