STEDT Monograph #9 is a high-resolution edition of _____ _ ____ Digital Recension of the Eastern Hˆn Chinese Grammaticon, by Richard S. Cook (Doctoral Dissertation, UC Berkeley, Dept. of Linguistics, 2003). This work, the first-ever reconstruction of a complete Shuo Wen (121 AD) Urtext, presents the results of more than a decade of effort directed at elucidating the major findings of the principal Qing Dynasty commentary edition (Duan 1815). In four-volumes (2,400 pages), this monograph situates the 19th c. findings firmly in the context of traditional and modern Chinese lexicography, with complete mappings to important lexica, and Old and Middle Chinese readings. Volume 1 documents the recension and phonological findings; Volumes 2 and 3 contain the concordance data, source mappings, and readings; Volume 4 (newly available) contains the complete reconstructed Shuo Wen Urtext typeset in Seal Script (vertical text, right-to-left). Each of the four volumes must be ordered separately.
