A Latin translation of the Tao Te Ching, forgotten in the British Library for more than 300 years, has been rediscovered and published through the efforts of Misha Tadd, a scholar at Nankai University in Tianjin.
The rare manuscript offers insight into how the Chinese philosophical classic first reached the West and sheds light on early cross-cultural interpretations of Laozi's teachings. It was translated by missionaries in the early 18th century.
