摘要
本文以明末清初漢文天主教文獻序跋為研究對象，以文獻學和思想史為研究 進路。序跋是文獻之眼，明末清初漢文天主教文獻序跋既具備傳統序跋所有的文 獻、史料價值等，更有獨特的思想價值。尤其當中國人為傳教士之作作序作跋， 著者和作序作跋者，既是個體的雙方，又是文化的雙方，中間存在一個中西文化 交流與互動的過程。
在緒論部分，首先對明末清初漢文天主教文獻序跋的概念，其形成、演變和 影響，其內容和價值作了梳理。在此基礎上，指出中國人為漢文天主教文獻作序 作跋存在選擇性，漢文天主教文獻序跋存在失收、篡改、代筆和偽託等現象。最 後，就明末清初漢文天主教文獻序跋的四次匯輯及相關研究進行了分析。 正文分為三章，每章選取一個典型案例：
第一章側重序跋探佚，以凸顯序跋的文獻價值。本章通過趙可懷《山海輿地 圖》序來探究已佚的利瑪竇肇慶所繪《山海輿地圖》的形制和流變，並將趙可懷 蘇州刻石放到中國石刻傳統、計裡畫方傳統中加以審視；
第二章側重序跋的移植、篡改和思想分析。本章在梳理艾儒略入閩前葉向高 與傳教士早期接觸的基礎上，從葉向高《西學十誡初解序》在明末清初的一次移 植和兩輪篡改出發，分析葉向高與天主教的實質性分歧所在。透過葉向高這個案 例，可以看出在教內文獻中，為了弘教等需要，一個所謂親教、信教者或家族的 形像是如何層累、型塑而成的；
第三章側重考察序跋的版本學價值、序跋的作者群體、序跋與所序文獻的思 想異同。本章首先通過序跋考證《七克》早期版本，以此來反映漢文天主教文獻 流傳與刊刻的複雜性；《七克》序跋作者，多為萬曆二十九年（1601）進士同年， 通過分析序跋作者與傳教士的交往、序跋作者間的交往等，探究傳統社交圈對天 主教、西學傳播的影響；最後，以鄭以偉《七克序》和崔淐《熄忿小序》為代表， 通過序跋與所序文獻的對比分析，來窺探中西文化深層次差異問題。
結語部分，則從方法論上，對全文作一個收束。
關鍵詞：明末清初 漢文天主教文獻序跋 山海輿地圖 葉向高 七克 中西文化交 流

Abstract
This thesis focuses on the prefaces and postscripts to Chinese Christian texts from late Ming to early Qing (abbr. PPCC), using philology and intellectual history as the basic methodologies. In addition to the literary and historical value, the PPCC have their special value in cultural ideology, especially when the writers of the PPCC are Chinese literati, but the authors of the corresponding books are Westerners. In the introduction part, I first introduce the basic information of the PPCC, such as their definition, formation, evolution, influence, content, value and features. Then I briefly explain the four collections of the PPCC until now.
In the body part, I study three cases in order to analyze the textual features of the PPCC and the ideology behind the text. In my first chapter, through a detailed study of Zhao Kehuai’s preface to Shanhai yudi tu, I restore the content and structure of Shanhai yudi tu. In my second chapter, I explore Ye Xianggao’s preface preserved in three editions of Xixue shijie chujie. In different editions, the contents of the preface are appreciably different. Through a close reading of these sutble differences, I illuminate the divergences between Ye Xianggao and Western Jesuits. In my third chapter, I investigate the relationship of the authors of the various prefaces and postscripts to Qike, especially the four of them who passed the imperial examination in the same year. In sum, based on these three case studies, I argue that, in their receptions of Christianity, the late Ming and early Qing Chinese literati actively employed traditional Chinese ideologies, such as Confucianism and Buddhism, to reinterepret and reshape the Christian thoughts.
Keywords: Late Ming to Early Qing; Prefaces and Postscripts to Chinese Christian Texts; Shanhai yudi tu; Ye Xianggao; Qike; Sino-Western Interactions
