The Sacred Books of China, Part III

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 2 (1882) translated by James Legge, is Volume XVI of The Sacred Books of the East, a series available from Cosimo Classics. This book, in six parts, focuses on Confucianism and Taoism. Part 2 contains "The Texts of Confucianism," specifically the ancient Chinese divination text also known as the Yi King or Book of Changes. This text is a great addition to the personal library of those intrigued by Confucianism and ancient religions.
