JapSin II, 40.3 There is a Latin inscription on the cover: “Modus quo fiunt eclipses | solis et lunae seu eas | observandi | pars 2 | a pp. Schall et Terrentio.” A note by Louis Van Hée on a separate paper reads: “Datur tantum 2um volumen operis cuius titulus est: Observantis caeli brevis tractatus.”The verso of the title page bears the title of the collection: Xiyang xinfa lishu and of the section 西洋新法曆書，法原部, followed by the names of the chief compiler: Xu Guangqi 明禮部尚書兼翰林院學士協理詹事府事加俸一級徐光啟督修, the author: Terrenz 修政曆法極西耶穌會士鄧玉函撰, the reviser: Schall 湯若望訂, and the proofreaders: Zhou Yin, Wang Yinglin, and Chen Yingdeng 門人周胤，王應遴，陳應登受法. There are nine columns in each half folio, with twenty-one characters in each column; annotations are given in double lines and in smaller characters. Pfister gives two different translations of the title. On page 157 (no. 5) he translates “Compendium des deux sphères, 2 vol.” and attributes the authorship of the book to Terrenz. On p. 180 (no. 21) he translates “Abrégé des observations et des mesures célestes, 2 vol.” and gives Schall as the author, which attribution is erroneous. Schall only revised the text; see also Jap-Sin II, 50 (a complete copy of this book). Cf. Courant 4911; Väth, p. 369, no. 32.
JapSin II, 50 The cover bears a label with the title and a Latin inscription: “De Sphaera Tractatus | in duas partes diversus | a pe Joanne Terentio | pars 1a & 2a.”This book is the same as Jap-Sin II, 40.3, but juan B is missing in the latter. In the Latin inscription of 40.3 the authorship is attributed to Terrenz and Schall. In our present book Terrenz is mentioned as the sole author, which seems to be more likely. The title page bears four large characters: Xinfa lishu 新法曆書 (Calendar according to the new method). The verso of this folio gives the title of the book and the section it belongs to: 法原部 (the theoretical part). There follows a list with the names of the chief compiler (Xu Guangqi): 明體部尚書兼翰林院學士協理詹事府事加俸一級徐光啟修, the author (Terrenz) and the reviser (Schall): 修政曆法極西耶穌會士鄧玉函撰，湯若望訂 and the collaborators (Zhou Yin, Wang Yinglin, and Chen Yingdeng): 門人周胤，王應遴，陳應登受法. The table of contents consists of three folios. There is an introductory note in one folio with someone’s romanization and notes written between the lines. Folio 1 of both juan A and juan B bears the title and the number of the juan. Each half folio consists of nine columns with twenty-two characters in the first column of each paragraph and twenty-one in the rest of the paragraph. The two juan are divided into eight chapters. Juan A consists of twenty-six and juan B of thirty-three folios. In the introductory note Terrenz tries to show that cosmography is the foundation of calendar calculation. Unless one grasps the principles, the calculation may seem to be complicated and obscure. The treatise he has written is designed to make things more simple. It begins with evident and clear explanations, so that anyone can follow step by step and thus may come to learn this science. According to Bernward H. Willeke (DMB 2:1282–1284, Terrenz), the Cetian yueshuo (Abridged theory of the measures of the sky) “was finished in 1628. The first part deals with static astronomy: of the equator and the horizon; the second with dynamic astronomy: with the ecliptic, orbit of the stars, daily motion, the sun, the moon, and the fixed stars. The manuscript was later revised and published by Schall. This work contains a full description of the telescope invented by Galileo as well as an account of the sun spots which at that time appeared as a new discovery though they had been known in China for over a millennium” (p. 1283). Cf. Pfister, p. 157, no. 5; Feng 1938, p. 185; Hsü 1949, p. 369; Courant 4911; Couplet, p. 18; JWC 1:216–225.
JapSin II, 50 D The cover bears a label with the title and a Latin inscription: “De Sphaera | tractatus. pars 1a | a p. Joe Terrentino | S.J.”This book is exactly the same as Jap-Sin II, 40.3 and Jap-Sin II, 50. Together with Jap-Sin II, 40.3 (in which juan A is missing) it constitutes a complete set.

| Note | Ferdinand Verbiest and Jesuit science in 17th century China : an annotated edition and translation of the Constantinople manuscript (1676) / Noël Golvers and Efthymios Nicolaidis. "This book contains two manuscript texts of Ferdinand Verbiest, S.J. (1623-1688), written in 1676 in Beijing to the attention of the Russian tsar, and brought by the legate Nicolas Spathary Milescu to Moscow. Both texts represent the oldest layer of the Astronomia Europaea corpus, and were until recently forgotten. Their recent discovery was in the form of a manuscript copy, which Chysanthos Notaras had made them in Moscow in 1693. The manuscripts have since then been kept in library of the Metochion of the patriarchate of Jerusalem in Constantinople. In this publication, the authors are reconstituting the Latin text, translating it in English and annotating it. In the Introduction, the manuscripts are situated within the corpus of Verbiest's Latin writings, and are depicted both the parts that were afterwards re-cycled in the well-known Compendium Latinum and Astronomia Europaea edition (Dilingen, 1687), and those that were eventually omitted. Moreover, the story of the Moscow manuscript, and especially that of its Constantinopolitan copy - until now the only remaining testimonium of it - is traced. This description also reveals an until now unknown reception of 17th century Jesuit astronomy, mechanics and physics in post-Byzantine Russia and South-Eastern Europe."--Publisher's description.

Dias’ work was devoted to descriptive cosmology rather than mathematical astronomy. [A Chinese Christian convert who collated this text was Xu Leshan 許樂善 (ca. 1544-1625/26; jinshi 1571, baptised as John in 1610).] Dias' Tianwen lüe 天問略 (Epitome of Questions on the Heavens, 1615) is best known for its appendix, in which Galileo Galilei’s (1564-1642) invention of the telescope and the new observations he made with it were reported; the details of the surface of the Moon, the phases of Venus, the four satellites of Jupiter, the objects of which Saturn’s rings are made, many stars in the Pleiades and the Milky Way. Information travelled fast from Europe to China: Galileo’s Siderius Nuncius had been published in 1610, and his observations confirmed by Jesuit astronomers of the Roman College the following year. The main body of the Tianwen lüe, however, was a description of Ptolomaic astronomy; Dias' preface pointed out that the universe described was the work of God." -- Cf.

JapSin II, 45a The cover bears a label with the Chinese title in ink and a Latin inscription: “Praedictiones temporis | pluvium, ventorum | et eiusmodi.” A note in Latin reads: “Haec scriptio non est Pris Verbiest.” Another note by Louis Van Hée reads: “Patris Verbiest: Observatio meteorologiae. Rarus.”The introduction (in three and one-half folios), written by Verbiest and entitled: Tianwen shiyong zhi xiaoyan 天文實用之效驗 (The efficacy of the practical use of astronomy) is dated 1682 (Kangxi 21). There are nine columns in each half folio with twenty characters to each column. The title of the book is given in the middle of each folio with the number of the folio below the fish-tail. The whole book consists of twenty-two folios. Headings for each paragraph are given on the top margin.
Verbiest writes: “Here we try to give the results of the astronomical forecasting which the Imperial Observatory has already sent to His Majesty, from the eighth to the ninteenth year of the Kangxi reign [1669–1680], dividing it into eight sections per year, as the effective practice of astronomy and as a positive proof of the accuracy of our calendars . . .” 今將自康熙八年至十九年每歲八節，預推天象之效驗，開列於後，以為天文實用之效，及預測推曆法所為可準之實據焉 . . .
