Abstract:
The edited volume Vernacular Chinese-Character Manuscripts from East and Southeast Asia has just been published by De Gruyter in Berlin, as part of an open-access series edited by the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures at the University of Hamburg. The collection brings together studies on vernacular manuscripts in regional Chinese dialects such as Cantonese and Hokkien (South Fujian dialect), those of non-Han peoples in China and Southeast Asia such as the Zhuang and Yao, and a vernacular character manuscript in Vietnamese. Across this wide range, the focus is on manuscripts written by ritual experts in regional and vernacular adaptations of the Chinese script. Detailed descriptions of traditional paper manufacture in the villages are given for both the Yao and the Zhuang, as well as paper analysis used to date a Vietnamese manuscript. Coverage includes information about the physicality of the manuscripts but also a wealth of information about their use and significance in the context of rituals by local society.
