A fourth volume will offer a historical survey of the identifications of all pharmaceutical substances mentioned in the BCGM. They include the first volume, published in 2015, on “Chinese historical illness terminology,” and a second volume, published in 2016, tracing all “geographical and administrative designations” mentioned in connection with the more than 1,900 pharmaceutically usable substances listed in the BCGM. In addition to the current volume, which focuses on identifying personal names mentioned and literary sources quoted in the BCGM, three others will complete the Dictionary of the Ben cao gang mu. This is the third volume of a project aiming at providing better access to the Ben cao gang mu (BCGM) 本草綱目, China’s great encyclopedia of pharmaceutical lore, first published in 1593 and designated a world cultural heritage text in 2012.
