What is The Encyclopedia of Taoism, Volume Set : 2-volume set about?

The Encyclopedia of Taoism provides comprehensive coverage of Taoist religion, thought and history, reflecting the current state of Taoist scholarship. Taoist studies have progressed beyond any expectation in recent years. Researchers in a number of languages have investigated topics virtually unknown only a few years previously, while others have surveyed for the first time textual, doctrinal and ritual corpora.

There is no reference work comparable to the Encyclopedia of Taoism in scope and focus. Authored by an international body of experts,
