EUCHINA note: "...There is (of course) not a chapter on the Jesuits and China, but two chapters have ‘China’ in their title:
17) The Jesuits in Asia under the Portuguese Padroado: India, China, and Japan (sixteenth to seventeenth centuries).
20) Missionary art and architecture of the Society of Jesus between China and Brazil.

This chapter discusses Jesuit strategies in mission art and architecture in the early modern world through two eighteenth-century case studies, one in China and the other in Brazil. The first is an episode in the Jesuit artistic campaign at the Qing court in Beijing when Jesuit artists worked closely with court artists and the Chinese emperor Qianlong to create the Xiyanglou (European-style buildings) at the imperial gardens at Yuanming Yuan. The second is the Jesuits’ introduction of Chinese style decor into church interiors in colonial Brazil as a symbol of Christian victory over paganism. These two episodes will also complicate our idea of Jesuit exceptionalism since non-Christians, Franciscans, and other orders were involved in these activities, sometimes as much as the Jesuits.

On the other hand, chapter 34 (The Jesuit Rites Controversy) deals for the greatest part with China (in addition to India: Malabar rites). Other chapters dealing with China are: chapter 6 (Financing Jesuit missions) that gives special attention to female donors and the finances of Jesuit missions in China; chapter 24 (Music in global Jesuit missions, 1540-1773) contains a section “Music in the missions of China and Japan” and chapter 32 (Anti-Jesuitism in a global perspective) a section “Juan de Palafox from Mexican quarrels to Chinese rites”. In chapter 33 (The Jesuits and the Enlightenment) China plays a prominent role."--(Ad Dudink, June 2, 2019. EUCHINA e-mail listserv)
