Book Reviews of The Taoist Canon: A Historical Companion to the Daozang
Book Review: A huge disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
This is NOT the Daozang (the Taoist Canon). This 3-volume set is almost entirely useless. It is a huge collection of descriptions of the entries of the Daozang. It does NOT reproduce the actual Daozang itself! Talking about words in lieu of the original words themselves? They spent 30 years doing this?? Why not just translate the original Daozang scrolls and print them? Whatever happened to being straightforward?
