It was hardly "newly translated" - some tens of years earlier (Legge died in 1897). I'm not sure even Legge intended it to be "completely authoritative" credit goes to him for recognising its importance and bothering to translate it at all. I shouldn't listen to the scholarly Sinologists - few of whom have done much better since - ask a Taoist ;-) -- Steven Ericsson Zenith - Sunnyvale, California. mailto:steven@thetemple.com, http://www.thetemple.com/Steven/ "Never confuse wisdom with luck."
