"...Eighteenth century Jesuit mission monographs and reports. The contributions of Joseph-Marie Amiot, Pierre-Martial Cibot, and Antoine Gaubil are preponderant. Amoit’s 350-page essay on the antiquity of the Chinese as proved by their monuments is in vol. 2; his monograph on Chinese music and musical instruments is in vol. 6; his renditions of three of the Seven Military Classics and two mid Qing military drill manuals are in vols. 7 and 8 (note); his 40-page life of Koung-tse (“appellee vulgairement Confucius”) is in vol. 12; his 230-page chronological table of the Chinese empire is in vol. 13; and his scoop reporting on the Siku quanshu 四庫全書 is in vols. 13 and 15 (Europe’s and America’s first information on the imperial collection). Cibot contributed about 100 studies on all kinds of Chinese manufactures and commodities. These are scattered in most of the volumes. Gaubil’s pioneering 500-page chronological history of the Tang, Abrégé de l’histoire chinoise de la grande dynastie des T’ang (completed by 1753) is in vols 15-16. It was, he says, based on the 21 Histories, the Tongjian 通鑑, the Tongjian gangmu 通鑑綱目, and the Lidai jishi nianbiao 歷代紀事年表. His studies of Chinese chronology are also in vol. 16 (based, he says, on Tse-tchikang-kien-ta-tuen [probably Zizhi gangjian zhengshi daquan 資治綱鑑正史大全. Zhong Xing 鐘惺, ed. end Ming]). Vol. 10 contains a 300-page general index to vols 1-10 (Cordier also lists all the contents). For a background to the Mémoires, see Dehergne, 1983. -– Cf. Wilkinson,Chinese history, a new manual. p. 398.

The Mandate of Heaven : strategy, revolution, and the first European translation of Sunzi's Art of war (1772) / Adam Parr

Includes bibliographical references and index

Translating the Sunzi -- Joseph Amiot's Sunzi -- The thirteen chapters on military art, a work composed in Chinese / by Sunzi -- Interpreting Amiot's Sunzi -- Strategy and revolution -- Joseph Amiot's letter to Henri Berlin, Beijing, September 23, 1766 -- Amiot's life

"The Mandate of Heaven examines the first European version of Sunzi's Art of War, which was translated from Chinese by Joseph Amiot, a French missionary in Beijing, and published in Paris in 1772. His work is presented in English for the first time. Amiot undertook this project following the suppression of the Society of Jesus in France with the aim of demonstrating the value of the China mission to the French government. He addressed his work to Henri Bertin, minister of state, beginning a thirty-year correspondence between the two men. Amiot framed his translation in order to promote a radical agenda using the Chinese doctrine of the "mandate of heaven." This was picked up within the sinophile and radical circle of the physiocrats, who promoted China as a model for revolution in Europe. The work also arrived just as the concept of strategy was emerging in France. Thus Amiot's Sunzi can be placed among seminal developments in European political and strategic thought on the eve of the revolutionary era"-- Provided by publisher
