The Ming Voyages -- Bibliography

Chinese Texts:

Ma Huan, Yingyai shenglan jiaozhu (The Overall Survey of the Ocean's Shores, ed. and annot. by Feng Chengjun (Shanghai, 1935; Beijing, 1955).

J. V. G. Mills Bibliography

Because of the excellent bibliography provided by J. V. G. Mills in his 1970 study and translation of Ma Huan's Yingyai shenglan, this bibliography is divided into two parts: Works included in Mills' bibliography (Works Published Before 1970) and works published after Mills' book came out (Works Published Since 1970). For the latter, I have relied on Roderich Ptak's bibliography in Mills & Ptak, Hsing-ch'a sheng-lan, and on other sources. I have put the post-1970 works first because they are the most recent.

Mills (Cambridge, 1970). "Extensively annotated, with a good introductory overview of the voyages; appendices include a study and translation of the 'Mao K'un Map,' a 'marine cartogram' printed probably in the late 1620s in Mao Yüan-i's Wu-pei chi, and, from the same source, several stellar navigation diagrams."
