Sobre este artículo
London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1968. Cloth. Fine/Near Fine. 8" by 5.5". Not Stated. A bright third UK edition copy of Richard Wilhelm's translation of the I Ching, rendered into English by Cary F. Baynes. The third UK edition of this work in the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Ink inscription to the front free endpaper, dated 1969. The half title page is present. In this edition, the key for identifying hexigrams is present, but is not a folding plate. In the 2nd century BC, the I Ching became one of the 'Five Classics', regarding Confucianism, and has since become a famous and widely-studied text for the basis of divination across the world. Its popularity resurfaced during the 1960s counterculture period, and was referenced and promoted by popular figures such as Joni Mitchell, The Beatles, and Jorge Luis Borges. This edition contains the Richard Wilhelm translation, rendered into English by Cary F. Baynes. With a foreword by Carl Jung (1875-1961), the famous psychiatrist who founded analytical psychology, and a preface to the third edition by Hellmut Wilhelm (1905-1990), an expert on the I Ching. In the publisher's original cloth binding, with the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, cloth is in a lovely condition. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean. Dust wrapper is generally smart, with a little chipping to the head and tail of the spine and the odd spot to the rear of the wrap. Fine

Superlative, the best of the best translations: first translated from Chinese to German by Richard Wilhelm, then from German to English by Cary Baynes. In spite of this double translation, it is still the. BEST.
