First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The 'Sancai Tuhui' is a massive 106-volume Ming Dynasty encyclopedia. While Volume 17 (Geography: Foreign Lands) is frequently cited and specific entries or illustrations have been translated in various scholarly works (such as those by Don J. Wyatt or in collections on maritime space), no complete English translation of this volume or the entire work has been published. Existing English material consists of academic excerpts and analysis rather than a full translation of the text.
