Description

University of Michigan. Journal of the American Oriental Society, Vol. 60, No. 4 (Dec., 1940), pp. 554-563.Before describing this interesting unpublished manuscript, it may be well, since Manchu studies are not so popular in sinological circles as they once were, to survey the work done during the last thirty years in this neglected field. This manuscript is interesting and important because it is one of the few extensive works originally written in Manchu. Moreover, it was, contrary to the usual practice, translated from the original Manchu into Chinese. This was done in 1809 by Fu Chün 富俊, another Mongol in Manchu service. This work, either in pure Manchu or as a bilingual text, has not been published and exists only in manuscript form.
