Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica, Volume 1

No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.

Extensive searches in local scholarly catalogs, Open Library, and Google Books found no evidence of a complete or partial English translation of Zhao Xuemin's 'Bencao Gangmu Shiyi' (Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica). While the original 'Bencao Gangmu' by Li Shizhen has been translated into English (notably by Paul Unschuld), this 18th-century supplement remains untranslated as a standalone work. Scholarly texts on Chinese medicine and history, such as those by Unschuld and Needham, likely contain translated excerpts or discuss specific entries, but no published translation of the text itself was identified in the search results.
