User:Underbar dk/Available translations of the Records of the Three Kingdoms

Chen Shou's Records of the Three Kingdoms (Sanguozhi) has not been fully translated into English. William Gordon Crowell alludes to a project to translate Chen Shou's work with Pei Songzhi's commentary, but it was apparently discontinued. Some of the Records have been translated by various scholars as part of their own projects, and this page is intended to be a quick reference to find which fascicles (卷) have been translated in academia, and where to find them.

Note that although there is a book that bills itself as Records of the Three Kingdoms in Plain Language, it is not a translation of Sanguozhi, but a translation of Sanguozhi Pinghua ("Pinghua" means "plain language"), a novel that served as the basis for the later and more famous Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

In addition to the list below, one may also consult the translations of the Song dynasty Zizhi Tongjian done by Rafe de Crespigny and Achilles Fang, which incorporates text from the Records of the Three Kingdoms.
