What Version of the Analects does ctext Use?

Hi all, I'm wondering if ctext[dot]org uses the Zhang Hou Lun version of the Analects compiled by Zhang Yu in the Han dynasty?

I found this https://ctext.org/notes, but can't find anything else. For the Analects they use the James Legge translation from the 19th century, so I'm also guessing that the Chinese version is the same as what James was translating off of, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks!

Li Bai Poems

Hi, can anybody tell me which is the most comprehensive volume containing Li Bai's poems? Apparently, he wrote 1100 poems, but all English translations only contain a tiny fraction of them. Does anybody know which volume contains the most poems? Thanks!

This is from a painting I own. It's from the Qing dynasty artist Yun Shouping, I believe. Google does translate it, but it's translation uses modern Mandarin. I think this is the Classical Chinese from that era and wanted to ask around and figure out what it is.

Hello everyone, what do you think is the best textbook for native anglophones who want to learn Classical Chinese? (Slight preference for books with a focus on allowing you to read Buddhist texts, but only slight:-).) Thank you in advance!
