"This second volume of the seminal two-volume anthology spans the 13th century CE to the very beginning of the nineteenth century with an entry dated circa 1800. It deals mainly with the transmission of Western learning to China, a translation venture that changed the epistemological horizon and even the mindset of Chinese people. Also included are texts that address translation between Chinese and the languages of China's Central Asian neighbours, such as Manchu, which was to become of crucial importance in the Qing Dynasty. Comprising 28 passages, most of which are translated into English for the first time here, the anthology is the first major source book of its kind to appear in English. It features valuable primary material, and is essential reading for postgraduate students and researchers working in the areas of translation, translation studies and Asian Studies"--Back cover.

Abstract
The French Jesuit Alexandre de La Charme (1695–1767) was the first scholar to translate the entire Shijing (The Book of Songs) into a European language. Though completed as early as 1737, his Latin Liber Carminum remained unpublished until 1830, when Julius Mohl (1800–1876) edited the manuscript in Paris. Drawing on previously unexamined archival sources, this article traces the genesis of La Charme’s neglected work and conducts an analysis of its translation strategy, which represents a marked departure from the approaches of earlier Jesuit interpreters of the Chinese classics. While La Charme himself, and other scholars since, have underlined the central role that a Manchu translation played in informing the Liber Carminum, the present article shows that this influence has been overstated; the oddities of La Charme’s translation are instead better understood in the context of his proselytising work, Xingli zhenquan (The True Explanation of Natural Philosophy), which argues against the validity of historical commentaries, thereby facilitating a deeply idiosyncratic reading of the Chinese classics.
