The 'Acta Pekinensia' or historical records of the Maillard de Tournon legation. Volume III: January 1708 - February 1709 / by Kilian Stumpf SJ ; edited by Paul Rule, Claudia von Collani.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [615]-625) and index.

The 'Acta Pekinensia' is a Latin manuscript found in the Jesuit Roman Archives. It is a record of the papal legation to China of Charles Maillard de Tournon, from his arrival in China to his death in Macau. It was compiled by Kilian Stumpf, a German Jesuit missionary/scientist serving at the court of the Kangxi emperor of China. Stumpf was in a privileged position to record day by day the events of this crucial episode not only in the history of Christianity in China but in Chinese-Western relations. This annotated translation provides a full documentation and an acute and lively commentary on the clash of values which resulted in the failure of the legation and the condemnation of Chinese Rites.

"...As in the first volume, the translation is based on a transcription from the original manuscript of the "Acta Pekinensia" in the Jesuit Roman Archives (Jap. Sin.138) made by three Latinists in Poznan (Poland): Monika Miazek Meczynska, Ewa Jarmakowska, and Katarzyna Prychitko. A first draft translation was then made by Jesuit classicists (in Australia, Joseph Holland, John Wilcken, John Begley, and Stan Hogan; also Gerard ]. Hughes of Campion Hall, Oxford University).
This was then revised and annotated by Paul Rule and Claudia von Collani, who take ultimate responsibility for the text as it now appears. The Compendium was translated by Paul Rule with the assistance of Claudia von Collani. We wish to acknowledge the constant support of the Macau Ricci Institute, especially the initiators of the project, Yves Camus and Luis Sequeira, and for this and we hope subsequent volumes, the Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History at the University of San Francisco, under the direction of Fr. Antoni Ucerler and Dr. Wu Xiaoxin. And special thanks are due to the assiduous editor of this volume, Stephen Ford."--Introduction (vol. 2).

(Abstract:) The English translation of the second volume of the Acta Pekinensia [2019] edited by Paul Rule and Claudia von Collani is a high-level academic work. However, it is worth noting that this work is far from perfect; some mistakes and misunderstandings can be found in its numerous notes in the editors' efforts to identify the Chinese characters from Stumpf's romanization of Chinese words, especially in those of Chinese nouns, spoken words and place names. It is very necessary to correct the related mistakes and misunderstandings.
