Great Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion

Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.

The 'Zhenjiu Dacheng' (Great Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion) is a massive 10-volume work from the Ming Dynasty. Search results confirm that while significant portions have been translated into English, they have been published as individual volumes or thematic excerpts rather than a single complete edition. Specifically, Lorraine Wilcox has published translations of individual volumes (e.g., Volume IX in 2011), and Richard Bertschinger has translated the 'Odes' and other excerpts (1991, 2013). No evidence of a complete, unified English translation of all ten volumes was found in the catalogs.
