"An incomplete reading of the manuscript reveals that it is nearly identical with the printed version, with few but sometimes significant differences. One of these differences is a reference to the Shunzhi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong Emperors. A manuscript which refers to the Qianlong Emperor (r. 1735-1795) must have been copied after 1735. Hence the manuscript cannot predate the edition of the book printed in 1688. I suggest that the manuscript is an unpublished attempt to update the biography. This theory is supported by the fact that the portions of the book that tie it specifically to persons and events of the 1680’s, when it was first written, are omitted from the manuscript. These include the first paragraph of the book presenting it to “Madame the Marchioness ... “ and the section of the 1688 edition from the bottom of page 147 through mid-page 151, in which Fr. Couplet talks about the Duchess of Aveiro and other benefactors of the China mission of his day, the sending of the French Jesuit mathematicians to the Chinese court, and the French mission to Siam. The manuscript ends with the paragraph corresponding to the last half of page 151 of the 1688 edition, further omitting the final section which reads, "Tandis que je teray profession d’etre jusqua’au bout du Monde, & à l’extremité de ma vie, Madame, Votre tres humble & tres obeissant serviteur, P.C. Procureur General des Missions de la Chine, de la Compagnie de Jesus." (pp. 151-152) The imprimatur dated November 3, 1687 is also omitted. I suspect that the manuscript was done during the eighteenth century, after 1735 and before 1774 when the Jesuits in Peking learned of the final suppression of the Society of Jesus by order of Pope Clement XIV."

"This publication deals with a manuscript, written by Philippe Couplet S.J., who was a missionary in China from 1658 till 1681. He was sent as a procurator of the Chinese missions to Europe, where he stayed till 1692. ... It was during this time that he composed: A Brief Report of the Situation and Quality of the Missions in China. The present study contains an Italian transcript (pp. 40-96) and a facsimile edition (pp. 163-241) of this document. In an appendix, 316 Chinese works, presented by Couplet to Pope Innocent XI in 1685 and preserved in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, are listed (pp. 121-138). Gatta added an introduction and some conclusions.”
“The Brief Report mentions in a nutshell all the main characteristics of the missionary approach of the Jesuits: evangelization from the top to the bottom, assimilation with the culture of the Confucians, the coincidence of the original Chinese and Christian notion of God and of the ethical norms, the accomodation to the rites of Confucianism, the negative relationship with Buddhism and Taoism, the importance of the study of astronomy and other sciences and the use of books published in Chinese. Both the mission of Couplet to Europe and his Brief Report have played a role in the Rites Controversy..." (Arnulf Camps in Exchange)—From Monumenta Serica website.

Simo zhenlun 四末真論.
By Bo Yingli 柏應理 (Philippe Couplet, 1622–1693).
One juan. Chinese bamboo paper in one volume. Published by the Jingyitang 敬一堂 of Yunjian 雲間 (Jiangsu) in 1675 (Kangxi 14).

The title given on the cover is Simolun 四末論. There is a Latin inscription that reads: “De quatuor | Novissimis a p. Philippo | Couplet SJ.”

The text consists of twenty-six folios and deals with the four last things, namely death, judgement, heaven, and hell. It is divided into four parts, each accompanied by an illustration and a saying from one of the saints of the church. The Jingyitang is the oldest Catholic church in Shanghai. Originally the residence of a government minister, it was bought in 1640 by Francesco Brancati with the help of Martina Xu, the fourth grand-daughter of Xu Guangqi. It was known in later days as the lao tianzhutang 老天主堂 or simply “laotang (JWC 2:56–59).”
