Ceshi lüe 測食略.
By Tang Ruowang 湯若望 (Johann Adam Schall von Bell).
Two juan. Bamboo paper in one volume.

There is a label on the cover with the title of the book in Chinese. A note is attached to this book written by Louis Van Hée, S.J. (1873–1951), who tried to correct the Latin title given on the cover: “Error | Hic titulus debet aufferri et eius loco Calculandi eclipses | Summarium a p. Schall | L. v. H.”

復 | 大冢宰崧翁李老先生命測月食書 | 今歲仲春之望，據曆，月梭應食。望奉 | 命測算，造次呈 | 覽。猥蒙 | 軫念。孤旅候 | 命邸中，以所測說轉達春曹。隨蒙大宗伯林老先生差官至寓取稿，伏惟盛德弘仁，不遺遐遠，誠 | 上國之柔遠，而風慕義之極思也。第匆遽間，即以 | 所測原幅，輕褻于 | 當世大人之前，思之殊為悚慄。茲承 | 嚴命測算望不敢以所食分秒時刻一圖，漫爾塞 | 責。故忘其固陋，輒拾小邦之遺軌，述食理之梗 | 概，敬呈 | 台階，以塵 | 清目，或不即見笑于 | 大方也。於食之所以然 | 究其義理之所歸，則于天學七政，或不無少裨也。伏乞 | 台臺留神于若天齊政，而重茲學，更祈于 | 退食之暇，俯賜刪削，則遠人不勝拜惠之至 | 大西湯若望頓首具。

"Xue Fengzuo 薛鳳祚, one of the great astronomers of the time, studied with Nikolaus Smogolecki in the Jiangnan region, after having been trained in traditional Chinese astronomy in his youth. Together they wrote Tianbu zhenyuan 天步眞原 (True Source of the Pacing of Heavens, ca. 1646), which introduced the European horoscope." –Cf. N. Standaert, Handbook of Christianity in China, p. 726.
