Description

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 4 (1885) translated by James Legge, is Volume XXVIII of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book, in six parts, focuses on Confucianism and Taoism. Part 4 contains "The Texts of Confucianism," specifically Liji (XI-XLVI), a continuation of the teachings and rituals of Confucius found in Part 3. This text is a great addition to the personal library of those intrigued by Confucianism and ancient religions.

He translated numerous Chinese classics to English including six volumes of The Sacred Books of the East. F. MAX M�LLER (1823-1900) was a German author and orientalist who lived in England most of his life. As a professor at Oxford, he combined the studies of language, culture, and religion to create the discipline of comparative mythology. His body of work included The Sacred Books of the East, which he had edited.
