Subject: RE: Han text

The "Collection Romans et Contes du Vietnam en Han" (Yueh-nan Han-wen hsiao-shuo ts'ung-k'an) were published in 2 series in 1986 (7 vols.) and 1992 (5 vols.) by the EFEO, Paris, and the Student Book Co. (Hsueh-sheng shu-chu), Taipei. The main editor was Ch'en Ch'ing-hao. For ordering, I don't have contact info for the Student Book Co., however, the Lexis Book Co. (Le-hsueh shu-chu) in Taipei could fulfill your needs (Lexis@ms6.hinet.net).

Ch'en Ch'ing-hao took Vietnamese texts, collated the various editions, and then published a basic version, with textual variations recorded in the footnotes. While this is a great service, I get the sense that he then handed over these materials to assistants and had them input the texts into a computer, and then did not check their work carefully. I think this way because there are some obvious misprints (which makes me worry about the ones that are not so obvious). Nonetheless, the texts are still extremely helpful. However they do have this one blemish.
