Daoism A Short Bibliography

This bibliography is mainly addressed to students of my courses on
Daoism. The earliest version dates from 1998. From time to time I
update it, adding new materials and omitting a few of the older ones. The
present version contains works dating to 2014. The subdivision into 10
sections reects the format of my basic course, usually entitled
Introduction to Daoism. FP
