This book was written by Spanish Dominican missionary Juan Cobo, who wished to spread Catholicism and western scientific knowledge to Chinese people. Its translation was completed in Manila with help from local Hokkien people, and it was printed in 1593 with aid from Chinese typographers. The book had nine chapters; the first three chapters mainly introduced Catholic doctrines, while the remaining six chapters contained scientific knowledge from fields such as astronomy, geography, zoology, and botany, which were complemented with vivid graphic illustrations. This book was considered the earliest work that translated 16th century Western European knowledge into Hokkien with Chinese characters. It brilliantly presented the process and achievements of Hokkien-Spanish exchanges in religious and scientific knowledge in the Age of Discovery. It is also an important and precious asset of "Memory of the World" for the mankind.
