The 'Sancai Tuhui' (Collected Illustrations of the Three Realms) is a massive 106-chapter encyclopedia from the Ming Dynasty. While specific entries and illustrations from the 'Herbs' (Caomu) section are frequently cited, analyzed, and excerpted in major academic works on Chinese botany and science (such as Joseph Needham's 'Science and Civilisation in China'), no standalone or complete English translation of this section or the work as a whole exists. Catalog searches across multiple databases returned no records for a published English translation of the text.
