author: Tsuen-Hsuin Tsien
description: <DIV>"Tsien's study is a triumph of modern sinology. . . . Few, if any, of the purposes, techniques, usages, instruments, and materials of Chinese writing have escaped his attention. The result is a volume which is as definitive as extent research data will permit."</DIV> (<i>Library Journal</i>)<br /><br /><DIV>"This admirable monograph covers the whole field of epigraphy and the technique of human communication, including the origins and development of paper and the use of it for writing, down to the time of the invention of printing."<BR><BR></DIV> (<i>Journal of Asian Studies</i>)<br /><br /><DIV><P>"For any student of Chinese, Tsien's lucid introduction to the development of the book, to the beginnings of calligraphy and the massive archive of historical writing, characteristic of premodern China, is an essential reference work."</DIV></P> (<i>Times Literary Supplement</i> 2005-05-13)<br /><br /><DIV><P>"For scholars wishing to understand how a number of now justly separated palaeographic fields have developed over the past half-century, Tsien's re-editing of a classic work could not be timelier."</DIV></P> (<i>Times Higher Education Supplement</i> 2005-06-10)
