Aims and Structure

The Chinese Religious Text Authority aims to connect bibliographic information across collections, archives, and private libraries in order to map out detailed webs of relationships among producers, publishers, and distributors of religious texts. In this first phase of the project, we focus on a corpus of pre-1949 Chinese Religious texts included in major reprint collections. The data generated from this open-access, international, collaborative project has the potential to reveal formerly undiscovered associations.

CRTA was founded in December 2018. We are grateful to Simon Wiles for help with the technical infrastructure and hosting the wiki. CRTA has received and is grateful for support from FROGBEAR, and the University of Colorado.

Supported by generous funding from FROGBEAR (From the Ground Up: Buddhism and East Asian Religions) and by Vincent Goossaert’s research funds at EPHE., this workshop focused on training early career scholars in the reading and analysis of a large range of late imperial Chinese religious texts.

After a one-day seminar in Paris, which about half the group of early career scholars were able to attend, we went to the CNRS Center in Aussois where we stayed, ate together and used our seminar room morning to night for four days. We first explained the CRTA project, its aims and philosophy, the database structure. Then the six instructors (Marcus Bingenheimer, Daniela Campo, Katherine Alexander, Huayan Wang, Gregory Scott and Vincent Goossaert) each directed a three-hour session on a specific genre of religious texts, with different pedagogical approaches, but always involving the active participation of everyone present at the workshop, instructors and participants alike.
