Description
The Thesaurus Linguae Sericae (TLS) is an historical and comparative encyclopaedia of Chinese conceptual schemes, designed as a collaborative forum for the close reading of Chinese texts in cross-cultural conceptual history. It provides a corpus of classical Chinese texts—wherever possible with interlinear translations—linked to an analytic dictionary of the Chinese language. The Thesaurus was founded by Christoph Harbsmeier (University of Oslo) and is developed in cooperation with the Center for Informatics in East-Asian Studies (Kyoto University). It is hosted by the Heidelberg Centre for Transcultural Studies (HCTS) at Heidelberg University.
