Features: This book is a compilation by the renowned French orientalist Georges Cordier of records on the Far East from his Greek and Latin writings. The texts involve over 90 works, spanning from the 4th century BC to the 14th century AD. The documents collected by Cordier are quite extensive and comprehensive, serving as fundamental historical materials for the study of Sino-Western exchanges and cultural interactions. In this anthology, there is not a single piece of literature that is not widely known, nor is there any work that has not been previously published. The aim is to gather a collection of scattered fragments in a simple manner, and they are mostly familiar to oriental scholars.
