JapSin II, 62 The cover bears a label with the title and a Latin inscription: “De Gnomonica | a p. Sabbathinus | de Ursis S.J.”There is a preface (five and one-half folios) by Li Zhizao 李之藻 (Hangzhou). A second preface (three folios), dated 1614 (Wanli 42), by Zhou Ziyu of Cishui 慈水, at the end of which there are two wooden carved seals in cursive style: 古太史氏 and 周子愚印. Instead of the preface of Li Zhizao, Hsü Tsung-tse (1949, p. 283–284) reproduces the preface of Xiong Mingyu 熊明遇 (jinshi of 1601), which is not found in our copy. Folio 1 gives the title, the author and collaborators (Zhou and Zhuo): 泰西熊三拔口授,慈水周子愚,武林卓爾康筆記. There are ten columns in each half folio with twenty-two characters to each column. The title of the book is given in the middle of each folio and the number of the folio below the fish-tail. The main text consists of forty folios, and contains tables and illustrations. The book, which deals with the gnomon, is included in the Tianxue chuhan and was later copied into the Imperial Library, the Siku quanshu. Both the Huang-Qing jingjie 皇清經解 and the Chourenzhuan 疇人傳 make reference to it. Cf. Pfister, p. 105, no. 3; Feng 1938, p. 125; Hsü 1949, pp. 281–284; SKTY 3:2180–2181; Courant 4903; Couplet, p. 13; DMB 2:1332.

Jianpingyi shuo 簡平儀說 The cover bears a label with the title (only half of the character 說 is left) and a Latin inscription: “Modus inquirendi stellam | existentem in medio coeli | a p. Sabbathino de Ursis | S.J.”There is a preface (four and one-half folios), dated 1611 (Wanli 39), by Xu Guangqi. Folio 1 bears the title of the book and the names of the authors: 泰西熊三拔譔說 : 吳淞徐光啟劄籍. Each half folio consists of ten columns with twenty-two characters in the first column of each paragraph and twenty-one in the rest of the paragraph. The title is given in the middle of each folio and the number of the folio below the fish-tail. On folio 1 under the number of the folio, the name of the block carver is given: 李再禎刻 (wooden blocks carved by Li Zaizhen). The main text consists of twenty-one folios. In his preface Xu Guangqi tells that the jianpingyi (an instrument providing the orthographic projection of the sky, according to the Ptolemaic theory) was made by Sabatino de Ursis himself and presented to Matteo Ricci, who was pleased with it. Later Ricci explained it to Xu Guangqi, who took down the explanations. Xu then showed his notes to Sabatino, who thought the treatise a little short and therefore declined to have it published. But at the insistence of Xu he finally agreed. Xu considered this book as a fundamental work for calendar makers. Cf.

Jap-Sin II, 166. The cover bears an inscription in Portuguese: “Do P. Sabbatino de Ursis sobre o Ye kim.”There are nine columns in each half folio with twenty characters to each column. The text, which is incomplete, consists of twenty-one unnumbered folios (including the covers) and contains illustrations. The author of the manuscript is not given. However, in folio 1, column 4, there is a remark : Yougangzi yue 有綱子曰. Now Yougang is the zi of Sabbatino de Ursis, which clearly indicates that he is the author. This title does not appear in Pfister or elsewhere. The book, written in dialogue form, begins with the objection that in China the teaching of the savants is based on moral problems and not on God or on mathematical signs. To this the reply is that the Golden Mean [i.e. Zhongyong 中庸] (one of the Four Books in the Chinese classics) begins with the service of God. The savants observed the heavenly law and expressed it in writing and by diagrams. Thus, one practices virtues according to the dictate of the heavenly [Lord] and one governs by divine law without intervention of the impetuous human self. The treatise then goes on to discuss the philosophy of mathematics, beginning from the point which is the centre of the Taiji 太極 (the Absolute), as was indicated by the Song philosophers. It then goes on to discuss the line, the surface and tries to refute the theory of Wuji 無極 and Taiji. Source: Albert Chan, S.J., Chinese Books and Documents in the Jesuit Archives in Rome, p. 454. |
