Part of the extraordinary multi-volume portrait of ancient China written by a court official of the Han Dynasty. The Grand Scribe’s Records, Volume XI presents the final nine memoirs of Ssu-ma Ch’ien’s history, continuing the series of collective biographies with seven more prosopographies on the ruthless officials, the wandering gallants, the artful favorites, those who discern auspicious days, turtle and stalk diviners, and those whose goods increase, punctuated by the final account of Emperor Wu’s wars against neighboring peoples and concluded with Ssu-ma Ch’ien’s postface containing a history of his family and himself. Praise for the series: “[An] indispensable addition to modern sinology.” —China Review International “The English translation has been done meticulously.” —Choice
