First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The Daozang (Taoist Canon) is a massive corpus of approximately 1,400 texts compiled in 1445; no complete English translation of the entire collection has ever been published. While scholarly reference works like the 'Historical Companion' by Schipper and Verellen provide a catalog of the contents, only individual constituent texts (such as the 'Writ of the Three Sovereigns' or various alchemical and hagiographic works) have been translated into English.
