"Accounts of the seventeenth-century Jesuit Mission to China have often celebrated it as the great encounter of two civilizations. The Jesuits portrayed themselves as wise men from the West who used mathematics and science in service of their mission. Chinese literati-official Xu Guangqi (1562-1633), who collaborated with the Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) to translate Euclid's Elements into Chinese, reportedly recognized the superiority of Western mathematics and science and converted to Christianity. Most narratives relegate Xu and the Chinese to subsidiary roles as the Jesuits' translators, followers, and converts. Imagined Civilizations tells the story from the Chinese point of view. Using Chinese primary sources, Roger Hart focuses in particular on Xu, who was in a position of considerable power over Ricci. The result is a perspective startlingly different from that found in previous studies. Hart analyzes Chinese mathematical treatises of the period, revealing that Xu and his collaborators could not have believed their declaration of the superiority of Western mathematics. Imagined Civilizations explains how Xu's West served as a crucial resource. While the Jesuits claimed Xu as a convert, he presented the Jesuits as men from afar who had traveled from the West to China to serve the emperor."--Publisher's website.

葡萄牙耶穌會士何大化（António de Gouvea, 1592-1677）約於1630年來華，在中國傳教47年，足跡達澳門、杭州、上海、武昌、福州、北京、廣州等地，創建耶穌會武昌住院（1638-1643），後接替意大利耶穌會士艾儒略（Giulio Aleni, 1582-1649）負責耶穌會福州住院20餘年；康熙歷獄期間，與其他傳教士一同被軟禁於廣州，期間曾一度被任命為耶穌會中國副生會長，並參與到有關中國禮儀問題的爭論之中；歷獄結束後，他於1672年重返福州，五年後去世，葬於福州城外十字山。

何大化在華期間，於西學東漸尤其是西方科學技術傳華方面無甚表現，在漫長的中國傳教生涯僅寫過一部中文教理書《天主聖教蒙引要覽》（1655），在以科技傳播為導向的中西文化交流史研究領域，何大化這樣的傳教士很難進入研究者的視野。再加上比較而言宮廷傳教士比地方傳教士更受重視，來自意大利、法國、德國、比利時等國的耶穌會士比來自葡萄牙的耶穌會士更受到國內、國際學界的關注，以及學界對葡萄牙文資料使用的局限，何大化長期被學界忽視也就不足為怪了。

但是何大化的在華經歷絕非乏善可陳。他編纂過8份耶穌會中國年信（1636，1643-1649），著作有《遠方亞洲》（兩卷，1644）和《中國分期史》，均為葡萄牙文。所以，何大化在中西文化交流史上更多的是扮演“中學西傳”的角色，將大量中國的信息介紹給歐洲。遺憾的是，這些作品均未出版過，其影響也遠不及衛匡國（Martino Martini, 1614-1661）的《韃靼戰紀》、《中國上古史》、《中國輿圖新志》，也不及其同胞曾德昭（Alvaro Semedo, 1585-1658）的《大中國志》。但何大化的作品並非全無影響，即使是他的論爭對手西班牙多明我會士閔明我（Domingos Navarrete, 1618-1686）也承認，其著作中有關中國歷史的內容參考了何大化的著作。何大化憑藉他的兩部著作，奠定了來華耶穌會士史家的地位。

何大化是少數幾位完整經歷明清鼎革的西方傳教士，對在戰亂中維繫中國天主教的延續發揮了重要作業。就這一點而言，何大化在中國天主教史上理應有一席之地。 1637年，來華不久的何大化奉傅汎際（Francisco Furtado, 1585-1653）之命前往湖廣開教，後因張獻忠農民軍攻陷武昌，其所建立的湖廣傳教駐地荒廢，他本人則在艾儒略建議下來到福州傳教。此時正值滿人入關並迅速佔領北方諸省，耶穌會於是將中國傳教副省分為南北兩個區域，北方的耶穌會士以湯若望為代表已開始為清廷效力；而南方則在艾儒略、畢方濟（Francesco Sambiasi, 1582-1649）、何大化、卜彌格（Michael Boym, 1612-1659）、瞿紗微（Andeas Xavier Koffler, 1603-1652）等人帶領下，與南明政權保持關係。何大化所掌管的福州天主教，受到了隆武朝的重視和禮遇。隆武朝持續時間僅有兩年，清軍攻占福州後，何大化開始接觸滿族地方大員，尤其與佟國器等官員關係密切，從而使福建傳教區未遭嚴重破壞，且其立場也由擁護南明抨擊滿人入侵逐漸轉變為尋求滿清政府的保護。福州天主教正因為何大化的這一靈活務實的策略，而在明清鼎革之際得以延續。

何大化親歷和見證了明清鼎革之際的中國社會，他所留下的寶貴文獻，不僅記載了天主教在華傳播的情況，也記錄了明末清初中國的社會狀況。作為身在中國的西方人，他的觀察角度與中國人或許不同，彷彿以第三隻眼睛來看待中國發生的一切，比如對於各傳教駐地所在地區的自然地理、人民風俗的記載，對明清戰爭的記載，對民間宗教的記載，等等，都可以作為研究中國歷史的重要補充材料。從這個角度而言，我們也可以將何大化視為早期西方傳教士漢學家之一。

本書在前人研究基礎上，盡量發掘有限的中、西文原始史料，勾勒出何大化在華近半個世紀的經歷，嘗試考察長期在地方、民間且不以科技為手段耶穌會士的傳教方式，尤其揭示出何大化在明清鼎革之際對天主教在華延續的貢獻。本書將何大化在華經歷置於明清鼎革的歷史背景中，除了傳教史之外，亦想表明葡萄牙文檔案文獻的重要性，以及西文史料對研究中國歷史的特殊價值。

"The present dissertation offers a re-examination of the late Ming Jesuit writings in Chinese from a literary perspective ... finds that the connection between Jesuit works and literature is made through the medieval ars praedicandi, whose particular logic of proofs actually finds its fountainhead in such rhetoricians as Aristotle, St. Augustine, and Alan of Lille.... the Ming Jesuits "transwrite" a variety of medieval exempla from Latin and, possibly, Greek sources in their apologetical and evangelical works in Chinese... The focal point of the present study is the Greco-Roman type of the Jesuit sermon stories ..."

前言

蘇軾《題西林壁》詩曰：“橫看成嶺側成峰，遠近高低各不同；不識廬山真面目，只緣身在此山中。”蘇詩寫廬山層巒疊嶂，氣象萬千，乃千古名句，但以史家角度看，此詩或別有玄機：即便再熟悉的對象，換個角度，亦往往有意想不到的面貌出現。
西人鐘鳴旦（Standaert, Nicolas）在談到近幾十年來中國基督宗教研究的巨大變化時，提到了研究範式的轉變，即“從一種基本是傳教學和歐洲中心的立場，轉變為一種漢學和中國中心的路數”。又曰：“這種範式轉變最典型的表現，是將中國文獻作為基本材料，將中國人物作為基本研究對象。”作為一個歐洲學者，鍾氏此言或許代表著西方漢學界研究方式與心態的變化，反觀中國學術界，一種或可稱之為“中國中心論”的研究範式卻似乎從來就是正統。很多年來，利瑪竇、艾儒略等少數重點人物和“禮儀之爭”、“知識傳教”和南京教案等相關問題，也始終是人們熱情關注的焦點。
然而，正如“橫看成嶺側成峰”，“中國中心論”亦可能導致相對封閉的視域局限，如果將研究對象的邊界限定於發生在國境線之內的人和事，就不免使相關研究落入中國教會史或中外關係史的有限範疇。

近年來，不斷有學者呼籲“從世界史的角度看中國”，反過來，此言亦可提示“從中國史的角度看世界”的新視角，由此看來，變換研究範式應當是合乎邏輯的自然選擇。新的（或可稱之為大宗教或大歷史的）研究範式既需要我們從內部（中國）的角度考察世界，關注世界格局新變化帶給中國的深刻影響，同時又要求我們從外部（世界）的角度反觀中國，從各個方面考察中國在世界格局新變化中的地位和作用。
很明顯，研究範式的再次轉變不僅會使我們的視角擴展到更為廣闊（尤其是東亞區域性的地理與文化範疇）而多樣（至少包括交通史、貿易史、移民史）的領域，而且還要求我們考察相關各方的自身變化（即同時期歐洲教會及相關國家的情況，包括同時期的文化復興、宗教改革等）及其錯綜複雜的交叉作用。
從大宗教或大歷史的角度看，16世紀以降耶穌會士在中國及鄰近地區的傳教活動並非單獨的個別現象，而是天主教在亞洲乃至全球範圍內廣泛傳播的重要組成部分；宗教傳播及由此發生的文化矛盾與政治衝突普遍發生在中國以及鄰近的東亞地區，相同或相似的政治形態（封建王權）與文化傳統（儒學與佛教）迫使傳教士不得不面對大同小異的社會處境與文化挑戰；東亞各國間的傳統關係以及密切交往又規定了矛盾衝突的相互影響與連鎖反應。事實表明，宗教傳播與地理大發現後西方列強的殖民擴張、大國勢力範圍競爭、世界市場的形成與發展交織在一起，相互影響，相互作用。在中國晚明即大航海時代之後，世界進入了中國，而中國也融入了世界，全球一體化進程由此展開。

世界上從未有過純粹的宗教，所以也不會有純粹的宗教傳播；同理，任何商品交易的發生和影響都不會限於商品交易本身，因此相關的學術考察也不應自囿於經濟的有限範疇。至少在我們所說的大航海時代，一體化的世界進程早已超越傳統的國家範疇，錯綜複雜的國際形勢亦不再限於僵硬的雙邊關係，例如傳統的中日關係史或者中葡關係史。因此，儘管多視角的 “橫看”或“側觀”未必能獲得一窺“廬山真面目”的理想效果，但至少可以獲得更多問題，並推動研究的不斷深入。
收入本書的幾篇文章，大多基於這一考慮。由於是單獨成篇的個案研究，疏漏之處，在所難免；又因先行發表的實際需要，史料運用及觀點陳述上不免稍有重合。此番集輯成冊，已有所訂正，但限於各種因素，亦不能盡如人意。在此還望方家賜教，以便今後稍有寸進。
