(recently in "" as it's a relative expression)
"The manuscript here introduced and translated, with the title Bu shu 卜書 (text on divination) provided by the editor, Li Ling, can be dated between 350 to 300 BCE and ascribed to the former state of Chu, and it has been recently published in volume 9 of the Shanghai Museum Chu manuscripts collection. It contains the earliest known methodological treatment of turtle shell divination and crack interpretation and represents therefore a new fundamental piece of evidence in the history of Chinese divinatory practices.
