Which version of Shaughnessy's Mawangdui Yijing?

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to pick up Edward Shaughnessy's translation of the pre King When version of the yijing found in a tomb near Mawangdui. Here is the question though.

 

He has two books on it. The first one is just called I Ching (Classics of Ancient China). It's description says that it is a translation of the yijing found at Mawangdui. This is what I want, but his second book Unearthing the Changes: Recently Discovered Manuscripts of the Yi Jing and Related Texts, says it also has the translated yiching as well as other texts.

 

I would like to get the Second book, since it seems to have more. But my fear is that it's yijing translation might be trimmed down to fit it in this book with all the other stuff.

 

 

So what I am hoping is that someone on this site has seen both of them and can tell me that the book titled Unearthing the Changes has the same amount of content on the yijing as the one just titled I Ching.

 

Thank you in advance for any help.

Ah, it's only a little bit of it though.

 

At least I can check out the table of contents to get an idea of what it's got.

 

Thanks again Apech.
