A scarce 1940s Chinese language book on the study of Ancient Korean songs and poetry from AD 1000-1400. This specific book once resided in the prestigious library of language scholar Johannes Rahder (1898-1988). Rahder was a Dutch Orientalist and professor of Japanese at the University of Leiden from 1931 through 1946, and at Yale University from 1947 through 1965. He was depicted in the work of the legendary Langston Hughes' (1901-1967) 'I Wonder, I Wander'. After a brief meeting between the two figures on the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1933, Hughes recognized Rahder as being a "...famous authority on obscure Oriental languages". Rahder's black-inked Yale University faculty stamp and pen markings can be found throughout this folio. FORN-SHELF-0549-BB-2405-eb0738
