Sanguo Yanyi : Ye Fengchun Edition

葉逢春本《三國志史傳》



Background

The 1548 Ye Fengchun edition is one of the most important editions of Sanguo Yanyi, as it is the earliest dateable edition of the novel (the so-called "1522" edition was probably not published until well after its preface date of 1522). However, it is also one of the least well-known editions, as it survives only in a single, incomplete copy held at the Royal Library of the Escorial Monastery outside Madrid in Spain, and it has never been published before. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to examine this edition in person in 1992 when I was carrying out research on the editions of Sanguo Yanyi, and was able to get a microfilm of the book made for me.



Digital Images

I have now scanned my original microfilm of the book into 710 digital images, which I am making freely available on this site. In order to view the images, click here, and use the buttons to browse from page-to-page, from-item-to-item or from-volume-to-volume.
