A thorough analysis of the sinuous peregrinatio academica of Johann Terrentius Schreck (1576-1630) between 1600-1618 through (South-, Central- and NW-) European universities, academies and courts (at Freiburg /Br.; Paris; Rome; Basel; Padua; Strasbourg, Prague, Kassel, etc.) and his rich correspondence displays a widespread network of contacts, covering a broad range of domains, from medicine to alchemy, pharmacy, botany, and through engineering to (pure and applied) mathematics, and calendar making. In all these domains of the contemporary ?Republic of Letters?, this former student of François Viète (Paris), Galileo (Padua) and ex-Lincean, adept of Copernicus and Paracelsus showed himself to be a passionate scholar with multi-faceted and versatile talents. After 1611, with this very rich experience he entered the Society of Jesus, and shortly afterward he was appointed as companion of Nicolas Trigault, who was touring through Europe (1615-1618) as procurator on behalf of the fledgling Jesuit Mission in China, seeking funds, men, books and scientific instruments. This second phase of intensive travelling through European centers of scholarship, patronage, and printing (including Rome; Venice; Basel; Frankfurt; Cologne, Antwerp, etc.) resulted in an enormous collection of books and instruments, which were dispatched to Lisbon from various points in 1617/1618. Shipped to China, these materials arrived in Macau in 1619, and in Peking in 1625, becoming the core of the Jesuit libraries, mainly in Peking, and the basis for the scholarly activities of the Jesuits over the following decades in the domains of mathematics, calendar making, medicine, etc.

Abstract
This dissertation aims at the core question, which is that Wang Zheng, as a Confucian literati with a classical Chinese tradition and education, how did he interpret the Christian teachings and set up his thought system? In the part of Wang Zheng's life, the author mainly introduced his education, Christian Baptism and official career, which are based on some primary scources. Factually, through the analysis, his religious thought deeply influence his private life and the official career. The second part is about Wang Zheng's thought-Revering Heaven and Caring for Human Beings, which was integrated between Confucian teachings and Christian doctrines. This coherent system of thought has three parts, i.e. knowing the Lord of Heaven, revering the Lord of Heaven and serving the Lord of Heaven, which is mainly based on the texts of WTARJL, RHY, RJSB. In the third part of this research, the author analysed the image of Wang Zheng in the history, which includes three aspects, self-description, historical evaluation and modern image. His image of Confucian-Christian was gradually discovered. Therefore, we can think that Wang Zheng's integrated thought of Revering Heaven and Caring for Human Beings, which instructed his ethical practice of life. In the meantime, we also can find that the topic of his thought was deeply rooted in his historical image.
