Subject: Oldest Asian, Japanese or Chinese concordances and indexes???
Though writing systems in these areas of the world are quite
different from our own western traditions, I am still interested in
getting any information about early dictionaries, indexes or concordances
published in the cultures mentioned above. How does one look up a
"word" in a chinese dictionary? What is the ordering ("alphabetizing")
system? Any date of publication for the first ever publications of
this kind?
Thanks
