"...As in the first volume, the translation is based on a transcription from the original manuscript of the "Acta Pekinensia" in the Jesuit Roman Archives (Jap. Sin.138) made by three Latinists in Poznan (Poland): Monika Miazek Meczynska, Ewa Jarmakowska, and Katarzyna Prychitko. A first draft translation was then made by Jesuit classicists (in Australia, Joseph Holland, John Wilcken, John Begley, and Stan Hogan; also Gerard ]. Hughes of Campion Hall, Oxford University).
This was then revised and annotated by Paul Rule and Claudia von Collani, who take ultimate responsibility for the text as it now appears. The Compendium was translated by Paul Rule with the assistance of Claudia von Collani. We wish to acknowledge the constant support of the Macau Ricci Institute, especially the initiators of the project, Yves Camus and Luis Sequeira, and for this and we hope subsequent volumes, the Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History at the University of San Francisco, under the direction of Fr. Antoni Ucerler and Dr. Wu Xiaoxin. And special thanks are due to the assiduous editor of this volume, Stephen Ford."--Introduction (vol. 2).

The primary focus of this new peer-reviewed monograph series will be the study of Christianity in East Asia. It will reflect “local” (i.e. Chinese, Japanese and Korean) themes as well as comparative perspectives that explore the historical, cultural, and religious connections that mark the interactions between these countries. Subject matter may include but is not limited to: church history, cultural anthropology, historical linguistics, history of science and medicine, global history, and comparative studies. The series will also include critical studies of primary sources related to the history of Christianity in East Asia and/or critical translations of those sources, with accompanying commentary and critical apparatus. Influential works in the field hitherto published only in Japanese, Chinese, or Korean respectively will be carefully selected, translated into English, and made available to an international audience with the aim of promoting scholarly dialogue beyond local linguistic constituencies.
