Posted by: remnantDoes anyone have an view on the two recent translations of Yang Xiong's Fayan, namely those of Michael Nylan and Jeffrey Bullock, respectively?

Michael Nylan is obviously probably the greatest authority in Western academia on Yang Xiong, excluding David Knechtges.

Jeffrey Bullock is a young independent scholar. Although his book is published by a non-academic press, it seems to have been done at a high scholarly standard.

Does anyone have a view on the two translations? There is a significant price tag difference between the two editions (Nylan's is almost three times the price of Bullock's) which is one reason I ask.

Posted by: dsturgeon (Donald Sturgeon)I don't have an opinion on the specific question, since I haven't seen Michael Nylan's translation, but I would like to mention for those who aren't already aware that Jeffrey Bullock has very kindly agreed to make his translation of the text available on this site, and so his translation of it (though without his very helpful critical comments and glossary, for which you will need to obtain a copy of his book) is available here in parallel with the Chinese:
ctext.org/yangzi-fayan

I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank Jeffrey once again for making his translation available to all of us through the site.
