Volume 1 (2010)

After long discussion, going back to the Warring States Working Group conferences of the Nineties, v1 of the Project's journal finally appeared, with a cover date of 2010, but more precisely in 2012. By then, the scope of Project researches had already expanded beyond classical China, and into other ancient traditions: Indian, Biblical, and eventually Homeric, all of which are fruitful for the understanding of any one. Methodologically notable is the distinction, maintained in the journal's arrangement of material, between philology ("Texts") and history ("Historical Studies").

The increasing flow of non-Sinological results eventualy required the creation of a second journal, and Warring States Papers thus acquired a younger sister: Alpha.

Volume 1 begins with a set of papers from a panel at the 1995 New England regional meeting of the Association for Asian Studies, at which the work of the Project and its implications for Sinology were first formally introduced to the scholarly world. Highlights of Volume 1 include contributions on Spring and Autumn, the Gwodyen Dau/Dv Jing, the Mwodz, the Mencius, and the historiography of the Dzwo Jwan.
