David M. Robinson is Robert H. N. Ho Professor in Asian Studies and History at Colgate University. His current research explores how Chinese and Korean courts adapted to the dramatic transformations precipitated by the Mongol empire's collapse.
A heavily annotated translation of this governance manual takes center stage in Robinson's tour d'horizon through Ch!ong's Collected Works (Sambong chip三峯集), which makes readers familiar with various genres of his writings such as poetry, memorials, letters, and so on. The transla- tions are very well crafted; the annotations are likewise scrupulous. This is a major reading for those wishing to learn more especially about the (Korean) Neo-Confucian politico-administrative imagery.-- "Religious Studies Review"
