Bulletin Summer 1975

The reprint of rare classical Chinese books is one of the recent projects of the University's Publications Office. Not only does it complement the main thrust of the University in the field of Chinese studies spearheaded by the Institute of Chinese Studies , but it also represents a kind o f special service to the academic world. It makes books otherwise inaccessible available to scholars and students interested in Chinese studies. The Classical Chinese Books Publication Committee has gone out of its way to search for appropriate titles for reprint purposes, making contacts with various private collectors to loan suitable titles for reproduction. It was agreed that the end products should attempt to be the exact duplicate of the original so that the reader will find them both a useful text and a collector's delight. Th e first phase of this project consists of three titles: Poems of Li Ho, The Story of West Pavilion and Collection of Essays by Su n K'o-chih, the first two already published and the other still under preparation. Each title is limited to 200 copies only. A poem of Li Ho with commentaries in the head margin An illustration in The Story of West Pavilion O f the three titles, Li Ho's Poems is ver y rare indeed. In fact , it may be the only copy in existence now, as most of the books on Li Ho do not even include it in their bibliographies. Title and first page of Li Ho,s Poems 22 Filmset by T. P.
