A study, including annotated translations, of materials associated with the Daoist mountain hermit and eventual immortal Chén Tuán 陳摶 (Xīyí 希夷 [Infinitesimal Subtlety]; d. 989). Includes explorations of Daoist views and practices related to sleeping, dreaming, and temporality.
Traces of a Daoist Immortal is a Daoist-infused tour de force on the Daoist mountain hermit Chén Tuán 陳摶 (Xīyí 希夷 [Infinitesimal Subtlety]; d. 989) and his fellow “hidden immortals.”

Breaking various academic taboos, including hyper-historicism, social constructivism, and conformist mentalities, here Komjathy, in an aspirational gesture towards unbridled inquiry, offers annotated translations and scholarly introductions to ten major works associated with the Daoist immortal.

The book also contains a cutting-edge, mythopoetic introduction that addresses the life and legend of Chén Tuán, his connection to the Western Marchmount of Huàshān 華山 (Mount Hua; Huàyīn, Shǎnxī), Daoist views about sleeping, dreaming, waking, as well as Daoist time-being.

His most recent books include Primer for Translating Daoist Literature (2022), the Twentieth Anniversary Edition of Handbooks for Daoist Practice (2023), and Dàodé jīng: A Contextual, Contemplative, and Annotated Bilingual Translation (2023). He lives in semi-seclusion in the Taconic Mountains of Vermont.
