A Library of Clouds: The Scripture of the Immaculate Numen and the Rewriting of Daoist Texts (New Daoist Studies)
Co-authored with Chao-jan Chang
From the publisher:
"A Library of Clouds constructs new ways of understanding the complex authorship of texts like the Scripture of the Immaculate Numen and their place in early medieval Daoism. It stresses their significance in understanding the ways in which manuscripts were written, received, and distributed in early medieval China. By situating the scripture within its immediate hagiographic and ritual contexts, it suggests that this kind of revelatory literature is best understood as a pastiche of ideas, a process of weaving together previously circulating notions and beliefs into a new scriptural fabric."
