Classical Bibliography for Chinese Historiography

Princeton University

Jin (1115-1234 CE) and Yuan (1271-1368 CE)

Again there are no works which generally treat the titles of these periods. This is unfortunate because there tends to be a greater degree of variation than is usual for succeeding periods. For the Jin some comparison with Wittfogel and Feng is helpful. For the Yuan consult particularly Endicott-West and Rachewiltz below:
