About the author

Tao Sha is an author about whom little public information is currently available, and her specific research field and professional identity are not clearly documented. Judging from the works held in the collection, she is closely associated with the collation and annotation of the History of Goryeo, her representative output being the Collected Annotated History of Goryeo (six volumes) and its individual parts. Classified under world history and historical reading, the work centers on the official history of the Goryeo dynasty on the Korean Peninsula, with emphasis on textual comparison, collation and explanatory notes, reflecting solid documentary scholarship. Such annotated editions serve a relatively specialized readership, mainly researchers and enthusiasts of East Asian history and Sino-foreign relations, while also providing a usable textual basis for teaching and further study. Overall, Tao Sha's writing is primarily documentary, rigorous and plain in style, and her contribution lies chiefly in the systematic organization and presentation of Chinese-language historical sources from beyond China.
