I recently met with the Poly experts from Beijing during their latest visit to Richmond�they advised that this scroll needs further investigation. They explained that the scroll is not genuine but is a fine first-hand reproduction � ie, reproduced by an artist� not a print. My colleague (a translator) said the scroll is by Mengfu and she believed the writings where by Xi Kang (eg, Yangsheng Lun Essay?) � Mengfu�s seal is on the last page. I�m confused as I�ve tried researching to locate a reprint of this scroll and haven�t been successful. I know that the scroll is at least 40 years old�it�s been in storage for the past 20 years. Can anyone add insight (the scroll is very long�I�ve only attached the 1st, last and sampling of script page). I will upload other pics as a reply to this message once it�s posted on the forum. Appreciate any insight - D
