比利時聖母聖心會(Congregatio Immaculati Cordis Mariae)成立於十九世紀,成員主要為說荷蘭語的弗拉芒籍傳教士.閔宣化(Jozef Lodewijk Maria Mullie,1886-1976)即為該會的來華傳教士之一.除了前言外,本書上下兩編,上編共兩章,研究的是聖母聖心會創會及其在華傳教史,下編也有兩章,研究的是閔宣化傳教生平及其漢語語言學研究,聚焦於"熱河方言文法"與"古文原則"兩部著作.作者充分參考了相關史料,透過對聖母聖心會及閔宣化的研究,考察了該會在中比交流上的貢獻,以及閔宣化在荷語漢學史上的影響.

Publishers note-- In this volume, an effort has been made to extend our research to hitherto less developed aspects of the life and work of Ferdinand Verbiest (°1623-+1688). Two of the five papers collected here concern his involvement in the translation of the Latin commentaries on Aristotle published in Coimbra, which had been begun by Furtado, Aleni and others, and which he continued and completed until its 'official' presentation to the emperor in 1683. The contents of this voluminous work, entitled Qiongli xue are analysed by N. Standaert & A. Dudink (Leuven) on the basis of an (incomplete) copy of the manuscript, whereas N. Golvers (Leuven) describes its growth process out of a series of references in 'Western' sources; again each approach complements the other, and the flaws of one type of source are balanced by the virtues of the other. Verbiest's purely pastoral work is represented by this treatise 'on the sacrament of penance' (Goaojie yuanyi [sic], i.e. Gaojie yuanyi), which is analysed in depth by J.W. Witek (Washington DC). On the other hand there is Verbiest's relation to the calendar problem and the Astronomical Bureau (Qintianjian), so often studied without ever exhausting the subject; his work is appropriately described in terms of the 'history of science', as a key moment in the transmission of Western astronomical knowledge to the Far East. In his paper, however, Xu Haisong (Hangzhou) investigates the reception of Verbiest's learning in the milieu of the traditional Bureau, mainly on the basis of Chinese primary sources. The presence of more specific Christian elements in the same Bureau can be pointed out during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, when it even exerts some influence on contemporary Chinese Christianity, in such dossiers as the Rites Controversy. (Han Qi, Beijing). But the Jesuit mission was far more than the mission of Beijing. The scene beyond the capital is present in this issue in a description of the missionary approach applied in Suzhou Prefecture (Jiangnan Province) by Franciscus de Rougemont (°1624-+1676) - a former fellow of F. Verbiest in the Flemish Jesuit colleges, and always in contact with him in China as well. Here again Western documents are the almost exclusive sources, illustrating many aspects of the Jesuit presence in the Chinese interior.

Fangyan jiaoyao xulun 方言教要序論 = Faong yé kiao yao zu len = Dissertation méthodique en langue vulgaire sur les points essentiels de la religion / Ferdinand Verbiest 南懷仁, 1623-1688; Chong Zhengzi 崇正子.

A bilingual (Shanghai dialect and French) edition of Ferdinand Verbiest's (Nan Huairen 南懷仁, 1623-1688) Jiaoyao xulun 教要序論 [Structured discourse on the essentials of the teachings] from 1670 (not 1677, which is sometimes seen). The Shanghai-dialect text is printed both in Chinese characters and in Romanization.

Our copy carries a seal: 徐家匯彌撒會之印.

The main text is paginated by folio (96 folios with both Chinese and Latin-script text; 1 unmarked folio with only Latin-script text).

Our copy contains an undated preface signed Chong Zhengzi 崇正子, which we assume is a pseudonym. A second, anonymous translator's preface, in French, is dated 1884. An earlier printing of the Shanghainese text, which includes Chong Zhengzi's preface, was published in 1883; we assume that this edition served as the basis for the French translation. This earlier edition was, like ours, published using movable type. KU Leuven holds a copy, which has been transcribed in extenso and helpfully punctuated by Zhang Yumei 張玉梅, Nan Huairen "Jiaoyao xulun" xunguxue yanjiu 南懷仁《教要序論》訓詁學研究 (Shanghai: Shanghai guji chubanshe, 2016), app. 4. Yao Peng 姚鵬, Bainian liuze: cong Tushanwan dao Zhuxianghui 百年流澤：從土山灣到諸巷會, vol. 2, p. 1052 lists an edition in Shanghai dialect from 1880.

Ferdinand Verbiest and Jesuit science in 17th century China : an annotated edition and translation of the Constantinople manuscript (1676) / Noël Golvers and Efthymios Nicolaidis.
Jointly published: Athens : Institute for Neohellenic Research ; Leuven : Ferdinand Verbiest Institute.
In English and Latin.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 371-378) and index.

"This book contains two manuscript texts of Ferdinand Verbiest, S.J. (1623-1688), written in 1676 in Beijing to the attention of the Russian tsar, and brought by the legate Nicolas Spathary Milescu to Moscow. Both texts represent the oldest layer of the Astronomia Europaea corpus, and were until recently forgotten. Their recent discovery was in the form of a manuscript copy, which Chysanthos Notaras had made them in Moscow in 1693. The manuscripts have since then been kept in library of the Metochion of the patriarchate of Jerusalem in Constantinople. In this publication, the authors are reconstituting the Latin text, translating it in English and annotating it. In the Introduction, the manuscripts are situated within the corpus of Verbiest's Latin writings, and are depicted both the parts that were afterwards re-cycled in the well-known Compendium Latinum and Astronomia Europaea edition (Dilingen, 1687), and those that were eventually omitted. Moreover, the story of the Moscow manuscript, and especially that of its Constantinopolitan copy - until now the only remaining testimonium of it - is traced. This description also reveals an until now unknown reception of 17th century Jesuit astronomy, mechanics and physics in post-Byzantine Russia and South-Eastern Europe."--Publisher's description.

Ferdinand Verbiest, S.J. (1623-1688) and the Chinese heaven : the composition of the astronomical corpus, its diffusion and reception in the European republic of letters / Noël Golvers.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 568-610) and index.

"This book describes more than 220 copies, nearly all of European provenance, of various astronomical publications by Ferdinand Verbiest, S.J. (1623 - 1688), either xylographical copies sent from Peking (reports, instrument drawings, eclipse maps, ephemeredes; stellar maps), or copies of Astronomia Europaea. This multiplies the number of known copies by ten. The first part of this book describes the characteristics of this astronomical corpus - one of the most spectacular bibliographical testimonia of the Jesuit presence in 17th - 18th century China, and disentangles the complex mutual interrelationship between the various items of this corpus. Moreover, by investigating handwritten dedications and owner's marks, material indications and external testimonia, Golvers sketches the history of the shipments of these documents to Europe, connecting them to the late 1670s, to Ph. Couplet's European 'tour' (1683 - 1692) and to the presence of A. Thomas, S.J. in Peking (late-1685 - 1709).

Behind all these shipments, there is the personal effort of F. Verbiest, and his own handwriting can be recognized in many pieces. After his death, also the French and German Jesuits in Peking continued this diffusion process, albeit to a lesser extent, in their relations with France, the German countries, and St. Petersburg. In the last part of this monograph, several cases are discussed which illustrate how in the 17th - 18th centuries European scholars 'received' these documents, for their astronomical, sinological, historical, linguistic or purely bibliophile aspect. In this part of the inquiry, unknown aspects of the history of many early Chinese collections in Europe are discussed. All in all, this research measures, for the first time, the penetration of Jesuit publications on China in contemporary Europe in quantitative and geographical-historical terms. It also traces the different motivations of these dispatches (i.e. public relations, apology for the particular evangelization methods; offering bibliophile curios in return for support).

This abundantly illustrated publication represents not only a substantial contribution to this history of the Jesuit mission in China and the methods applied, but is also an advancement in our knowledge of the history of western astronomy in East Asia, and of the Sino-Jesuit printed materials preserved in European collections."--Publisher note, p.
