The Jesuit mathematicians of the Portuguese Assistancy and the Portuguese historians of mathematics (1819-1940) / Luis Manuel Ribeiro Saraiva -- The Jesuit College in Macao as a meeting point of the European, Chinese and Japanese mathematical traditions. Some remarks on the present state of research, mainly concerning sources (16th-17th centuries) / Ugo Baldini -- The transmission of Western cosmology to 16th century Japan / Hiraoka Ryuji -- The contents and context of Manuel Dias' Tianwenlüe / Henrique Leitao -- The textual tradition of Manuel Dias' Tianwenlüe / Rui Magone -- Restoring the unity of the world: Fang Yizhi and Jie Xuan's responses to Aristotelian natural philosophy / Lim Jongtae -- Traditional Vietnamese astronomy in accounts of Jesuit missionaries / Alexei Volkov -- Tomé Pereira (1645-1708), clockmaker, musician and interpreter at the Kangxi Court: Portuguese interests and the transmission of science / Catherine Jami -- The Yuzhi lixiang kaocheng houbian in Korea / Shi Yunli.

At the end of the 15th century, Portugal was given the oversight (Padroado) of all Catholic missions in Asia. The Society of Jesus played a major role in this enterprise of evangelization, which in Jesuit hands led to the transmission of major elements of European mathematical sciences to East Asia. The essays in this volume present important new data and analysis on the extent to and ways in which Jesuit scientific culture and Portuguese policies regarding education, trade and mission shaped the reception of "Western learning" in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam in the early modern period.

" ... compilation of Shuli jingyun (Essential principles of mathematics, 1722) can be traced back to 1689 when two French Jesuits, Jean-François Gerbillon (1654-1707) and Joachim Bouvet (1656-1730), and a Belgian, Antoine Thomas (1644-1707) took up the task of tutoring the Kangxi Emperor in mathematics....this article focuses on the contribution of Antoine Thomas. It provides evidence that the Chinese treatise Suanfa zuanyao zonggang (Outline of the essentials of calculation) was to a large extent based on Thomas' Latin treatise, the Synopsis Mathematica (1685). The source for significant portions of Shuli jingyun is thus identified...”—English abstract, p. 22.
