rif. 1053143 folding leaves. 8vo 240 x 170 mm. orig. patterned semi-stiff wrappers with orig. title-slip old stitching. Japan: 1791 date of Preface. A rare manuscript of Japanese natural studies or the “learning of roots and herbs” honzÅgaku 本è‰å¸ by ZÅ doctor and botanist 1758-1834. It was one of the major intellectual trends of the Tokugawa period with a large portion of the educated classes taking an interest in the topic. Initially inspired by the Chinese encyclopedic work Bencao gangmu 本è‰ç¶±ç›® Systematic Materia Medica Japanese natural studies came with time to focus on the natural environment of Japan in contradistinction to China. Our manuscript explicitly concerned with the mushrooms of “Our August Japan” is a case in point. It contains descriptions of 129 mushrooms divided into categories: wood mushrooms ground mushrooms bamboo mushrooms wood-ear mushrooms and poisonous mushrooms. Our author lists alternative names for a mushroom in question notes where it grows and describes its appearance. Literary references are given in many of the entries. Curiously despite the manuscript’s title ZÅ Han quotes from Chinese local gazetteers which often contained lists of local products. There is an appendix which contains four essays. discusses in turn different names of the mushroom in various parts of Japan; the etymology of the character kinoko 蕈 meaning mushroom; the method of ascertaining the poisonous character of a mushroom; and a prescription for breaking down the poison. ZÅ was the author of Seikei zusetsu An Illustrated Book of Agricultural Things the great agricultural and botanical work issued in the early years of the 19th century. It is an encyclopedic survey of all the agricultural products and practices of Japan. He served the Satsuma fiefdom under the lord Shimazu Shigehide Our text was never printed circulating only in manuscript form. ⧠Ueno MasuzÅ 上野益三 Nihon hakubutsugakushi 日本åšç‰©å¦å² Tokyo: Heibonsha 1973 p. 416. unknown

rif. 10372Ten vols. 8vo orig. wrappers old stitching. China: 1909-12. An important one-of-a-kind trilingual textbook. In 1905 the Qing government took the radical move to abolish the civil service examinations which had been contested for a long time and reformed in 1901. Rather than a system of examinations supported by schools preparing students for the lowest level of the exams the court instituted a tiered system of schools from elementary to advanced with students across the country using new textbooks. Our book is a product of the extension of this new educational regime to “present-day” Inner Mongolia. One of the two textbooks chosen for the new Chinese schools — and the most popular — was Zuixin chudeng xiaoxue guowen jiaokeshu 最新åˆç‰å°å¸åœ‹æ–‡æ•™ç§‘書 The Up-to-Date National Language Reader for Lower Primary Schools which Jiang Weiqiao 1873-1958 and Zhuang Yu 1878-1940 published in 1905 with the Commercial Press in Shanghai. Jiang was a low-level examination graduate who had been exposed to Western learning through the publications of the Jiangnan arsenal. After a first career as a teacher in new-style schools he entered the translation department at the Commercial Press in 1903 where he planned and wrote many of the textbooks that the press published. His later career was spent in education administration at the national provincial and university levels. Zhuang was trained in geography and entered the Commercial Press on Jiang’s recommendation. He too later worked in school administration while continuing to write textbooks. The purpose of Jiang and Zhuang’s book was as they explained in the Preface to “provide everyone basic moral values and knowledge and enable them to learn about important thoughts of ancient sages and academics arts and skills of all countries in the world.” Like others in the genre this book “touched on a wide range of topics such as science history geography and civics” and included “the newest terms concerning every subject at the time and reflected the most recent findings of scholars” He pp. 100-01. As the Qing government attempted to bring the empire’s Inner Asian possessions closer to China proper in the face of foreign aggression new schools were instituted in parts of Inner Mongolia. What textbooks to use presented a problem. Ungde or Rongde who was appointed as honorary supervisor of the Fengtian Mongolian Language School in what is now the city of Shenyang was aware of this issue. Ungde also taught Mongolian at the school. He noted that the school used Gao E’s 高鶚 Lizhi jiyao åæ²»è¼¯è¦ Essentials of Administrative Discipline which Tongšui 通瑞 had translated into Manchu and Meng boo å¤¢ä¿ in turn translated into Mongolian. Gao’s text had been written sometime before his death in 1814 and it was not a textbook fit for molding an informed citizenry in the early 20th century. Ungde therefore decided to translate Zuixin chudeng xiaoxue guowen jiaokeshu into Mongolian. Mongolia had traditionally been administered in the two languages of Mongolian and Manchu the Qing dynastic language and not in Chinese. Accordingly most of the Mongolian pedagogical literature that circulated in China — as opposed to the Tibeto-Mongolian literature that circulated in the Buddhist milieus of Mongolia itself — contained Manchu as a bridge language between Chinese and Mongolian. Ungde felt the need to keep Manchu in the new textbook as well. Translating a textbook concerned with modern industrial society meant that Ungde had to invent many new terms for which there were no Manchu or classical Mongolian equivalents. Scholars who have studied this issue in reference to Manchu have pointed out new words such as “society” ba-i acan “civilization” šu genggiyen “automobile” sukdun-i sejen “machine” šurdere tetun “telephone” talkiyan-i gisun and “telegraph” talkiyan-i serkin Qu p. 62. Before the translation received official endorsement Ungde translated four volumes between 1907 and 1909. These four were subsequently published along with two more in 1909 for distribution to the new schools. In 1910 Volumes 5 to 8 were published. Volumes 9 and 10 appeared only at the very end of 1912 when the Manchu dynasty had already fallen and China had been declared a republic. These different printings were presented to the throne and subsequently the president’s office. Reportedly an additional eight volumes were translated but they were never printed and do not appear to have survived Li first article p. 41. Our copy is a later printing. The Preface contains the list of Ungde’s students who assisted by writing the fair copy of the book which is missing in the early printings Li second article p. 67.
