In 'Companions in Geography' Mario Cams revisits the early 18th century mapping of Qing China, without doubt one of the largest cartographic endeavours of the early modern world. Commonly seen as a Jesuit initiative, the project appears here as the result of a convergence of interests among the French Academy of Sciences, the Jesuit order, and the Kangxi emperor (r. 1661-1722). These connections inspired the gradual integration of European and East Asian scientific practices and led to a period of intense land surveying, executed by large teams of Qing officials and European missionaries. The resulting maps and atlases, all widely circulated across Eurasia, remained the most authoritative cartographic representations of continental East Asia for over a century.

"In Making the New World Their Own, Qiong Zhang offers a systematic study of how Chinese scholars in the late Ming and early Qing came to understand that the Earth is shaped as a globe. This notion arose from their encounters with Matteo Ricci, Giulio Aleni and other Jesuits. These encounters formed a fascinating chapter in the early modern global integration of space. It unfolded as a series of mutually constitutive and competing scholarly discourses that reverberated in fields from cosmology, cartography and world geography to classical studies. Zhang demonstrates how scholars such as Xiong Mingyu, Fang Yizhi, Jie Xuan, Gu Yanwu, and Hu Wei appropriated Jesuit ideas to rediscover China's place in the world and reconstitute their classical tradition"--Provided by publisher.

16至19世紀的西學東漸，使中國社會進入獨特的文化轉型期。 此間所形成的漢文西學地理文獻，在中國社會和思想界激盪出對於世界的豐富人文想像。 本書透過對利瑪竇世界地圖、艾儒略《職方外紀》等明清漢文西學地理文獻的精細研究，展現出明清以來西方地理學和動植物知識在中國的傳播以及中國知識人為 會通中西所做的努力。 本書特別留意在全球史的背景下，將這些議題放入中國與世界的座標之中，嘗試梳理出在西學東漸宏大而壯闊的歷史畫面之中，圍繞明清地理文獻所展開的中西文化 之激烈碰撞與交融的複雜面向。

本書透過明清漢文西學地理文獻的細讀,展示出來華西方傳教士和中國知識人參與各種地理學漢文文本的生產,以及不同媒介,文類和文化贊助者參與製作和流通的若干 個案,由此而形成了一系列嶄新的學術議題.本書特別留意在全球史的背景下,將這些議題放入中國與世界的坐標之中,嘗試梳理出在西學東漸宏大而壯闊的歷史 畫面之中,圍繞明清地理文獻所展開的中西文化之激烈碰撞和交融的複雜面向.--OCLC record
