Non-classical antiquity project

Good afternoon, book lovers. I’m starting this thread to share my idea for creating a non-traditional library. The idea is to compile a list of books and primary sources from the ancient history period—focusing not on Greece and Rome, but on other countries or regions, such as Mesopotamia, China, and India...
Personally, I don’t know much about this field, so I’m asking if you could give me a hand and provide some guidance or a list of where I can find the titles of these works so I can purchase them.
Have a great day, thanks.

Thank you so much—you've been a huge help.
I hope everything goes well for you, and if you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask, my friend.
Big hug.

>1 DrVenos: Wikipedia have a very useful list of all the literature that had survived across the globe from before the 7th century or thereabouts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_literature and most of them have notes on editions, translations, current scholarship and so on.

Now... how you decide what is the most important in these is a different conversation but that will give you an idea of the variety and relative ages and so on.

And just a caution here - for some areas and languages and cultures, you need to go well into the European Middle Ages to find the oldest surviving literature and their classics. So https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_medieval_literature is a nice addition and then you can continue chasing the later works.

Thanks my friend!
