Reviews

'Simply said, this is a work of consummate mastery and high utility. It will last for decades and beyond. All who have occasion to study the early imperioal period are deeply in Loewe’s debt for this great gift. The book and its author deserve the Prix Stanislas Julien.'
Paul W. Kroll, Journal of the American Oriental Society, 2002.
'...une mine de renseignements inestimables sur tous les aspects de la vie politique et sociale dans la Chine des Han Occidentaux.'
Michel Cartier, Review of Bibliography in Sinology, 2001.
'…an invaluable resource to serious students and enlightened amateurs alike…A source book of unprecedented depth and scope, the biographical dictionary includes several features that make it far superior to any comparable work known to me…This volume now appears to me to be an unexpected boon of inestimable worth, and the debt owed to Michael Loewe for his painstaking labours is huge.'
Michael Nylan, Journal Royal Asiatic Society, 2001.
