One of the world's foremost scholars of Daoism, Dr. Esposito (Aug. 7, 1962, Genova - March 10, 2011, Kyoto) published many groundbreaking studies on pre-modern Daoism in English, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and French (see bibliography).

Dr. Esposito's two-volume Ph.D. thesis of 1993, written under the direction of Prof. Isabelle Robinet, received the highest evaluation of summa cum laude and remains much cited as a pioneering study of pre-modern Daoism.
