Rendered by the translators as 'vernacular reading', these technologies were used to read Literary Sinitic through and into a wide variety of vernacular languages across diverse premodern East Asian civilizations and literary cultures. The book's editor, Ross King, prefaces the translation with an essay comparing East Asian traditions of 'vernacular reading' with typologically similar reading technologies in the Ancient Near East and calls for a shift in research focus from writing to reading, and from 'heterography' to 'heterolexia'.\u003cbr\u003e Translators are Marjorie Burge, Mina Hattori, Ross King, Alexey Lushchenko, and Si Nae Park.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bunkyo Kin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004420398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004420397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.37h x 6.14w x 0.87d","brand":"Bunkyo Kin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43978570203391,"sku":"9789004420397","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1da878b2-5035-454a-a25e-b8dad9ff2ab7.jpg?v=1683242171","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/literary-sinitic-and-east-asia-bunkyo-kin-9789004420397","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
