Taoist Internal Alchemy: An Anthology of Neidan Texts

Fabrizio Pregadio

4.9/5 (27948 ratings)

Description:This anthology presents complete or partial translations of sixteen important works belonging to the Taoist tradition of Neidan, or Internal Alchemy. While the selections are far from covering the whole field of Neidan-a virtually impossible task, given its width and variety-they are representative of several lineages and branches. Titles have been selected in this perspective and are arranged chronologically, in order to provide an overview not only of Neidan, but also of the history of its discourses and practices. Four of the sixteen texts are integrally translated. Six texts and two commentaries are translated in this book (entirely or partially) for the first time into English. The book is concluded by several tables and by an index of the main terms.CONTENTS (Titles marked with an asterisk are integrally translated)ForewordSources1.
