2017-05-04 06:00:04Variation in Legge
Posted by: ciccotti (Jesse Ciccotti)I'm working with Legge's 1865 publication of the Shangshu, page 283. The line in CText has: 惟天地万物父母,惟人万物之灵。但聪明,作元后,元后作民父母。

I wonder if the 但 should not be amended to 亶? This significantly changes the reading in Chinese, and confirms Legge's translation of it as "sincere." I have not seen any other editions that have 但.
