"The T'ang Code, written in 653 A.D., is the most important legal text in East Asian history. Not only is it China's earliest law code to survive in its entirety, influencing all subsequent Chinese law, but it has also served as a model for codes of law in other East Asian countries, including Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. This is the only translation of the T'ang code into a Western language. The first volume of the Code, published in translation in 1979, specifies the basic principles of T'ang law and explains the structural standards for applying these principles. Volume II describes acts that are punishable by law and enumerates their punishments. For contemporary readers, the T'ang Code is more than simply a legal document. Studying the 445 "specific articles" sheds considerable light on Chinese culture. The portrait that emerges has surprising resonances in present-day Chinese society - its emphasis on the preservation of the family and the interrelatedness of authority and responsibility, for example" (Publisher's description). Das hintere Vorsatzpapier mit Besitzvermerk bzw. in Band II mit Lesenotizen in Kugelschreiber, sonst jedoch schönes, gut erhaltenes Exemplar mit nur leichten Gebrauchsspuren.
