Note | Abkai ejen-i unenggi jurgan [Tianzhu shiyi 天主實義. Manchu Jap-Sin I, 48]. Manchu translation attributed to Li Kai 李鎧 (jinshi 1661), Academician of the Grand Secretariat (Neige xueshi 内閣學士) and Vice-Minister in the Ministry of Rites (Libu shilang 禮部侍朗). See ’Brevis relatio’, ARSI, Jap. Sin. I, 206, fol. 33r-v. Archivum Romanum Societatis Iesu (ARSI) edition. Ex Japonica-Sinica. JapSin I, 48 The title pages of both volumes bear the title in Chinese as well as in Manchu. The Latin inscription reads: “Vera Dei Essentia | Tartaricé a p. Matth. Ricci, S.J.” Each half folio contains nine columns and in the middle of each folio there is the title, followed by the number of the folio. Juan 1 consists of eighty-four folios (including twelve folios of prefaces) and juan 2 of ninety folios. The top margin of the folios bears Manchu writing also. Decimum sit Testimonium viri senii, non tam dignitate, quam inter Tartaros, et Sinas summâ eruditione insignis, nomine Li [i.e., Li Kai 李鎧]; qui per 30, et amplius annos ab Imperatore occupatus est in Palatio, modò in componendis libris, tum Tartaricis, tum Sinicis de multiplici argumento, atque in primis de iis, quae pertinent ad varias Religiones, seu Sectas, quae in hoc Imperio vigent: modo in vertendis scientiis Europaeis in alterutram linguam, quam utramque apprime callebat. Is etiam vertit jam pridem libros P. Mathei Ricii de Dei Existentiâ è linguâ Sinicâ in Tartaricam, et quosdam alios, qui modò magnâ utilitate impressi sunt. Cf. Courant 6825 II (only juan 2); Stary, p.62 (Abkai ejen-i unenggi jurgan). |
