100 Roman documents concerning the Chinese rites controversy (1645-1941) / translations by Donald F. St. Sure ; edited with introductions and summaries by Ray R. Noll. Documents 47-49, and 51 translated by Edward J. Malatesta. Alternate title: One hundred Roman documents concerning the Chinese rites controversy (1645-1941) Local access dig.pdf. [100 Roman Docs.pdf]

This entire collection was compiled over several decades of field work in China, where Prof. Clark gathered a large number of images and documents in Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Rome, Paris, Krakow, as well as from a variety of rare book dealers within the United States, the UK, continental Europe, and Asia.

The collection includes hundreds of materials in English, Chinese, Classical Chinese, Latin, French, Italian, Spanish, and a variety of other European languages. Many of the books have been inscribed by the author or are autographed. A voracious collector, Professor Clark sought after first editions, rare books, ephemera, and otherwise often-overlooked materials and objects, and recognized that these are valuable tools for the scholar of the Catholic Church in China.

Materials within the Collection span from the missionary era in China from its inception to materials that continue into the contemporary era, up to this present day, late 2016. A large body of the collection is centered on China’s canonized Catholic saints, as well as the Boxer Uprising, the turbulence surrounding the events of 1900, and dilates on religious orders and their historic presence in China (including, for example, Franciscans, Jesuits, Dominicans, MEP, and PIME, to name a few). In this regard the Collection greatly enriches the current holdings of the Ricci Institute.

The assemblage of historical images related to the history of Christianity in China, within this greater collection, is unique. More than a dozen archival boxes include images both original and reproduced, many of the latter of which have been under threat, have already disappeared, or have dropped out of scholarly view. In short, in this remarkable collection scholars will likely see images that they have never before seen. Similarly the collection of Professor Clark’s research papers, housed in around 40 archival boxes organized by chronology, order, and diocese, is singular in its scope and breadth regarding the Catholic Church in China, as these items were collected during his research trips that occurred annually and spanned the globe. This, too is a diverse collection of materials, including those found in archives—some of which have now closed—or made fleeting internet appearances, were downloaded and printed, which are now too no longer available in their original source. In addition to this are approximately 30 archival boxes containing Professor Clarks personal papers and publication materials. In total the Collection contains approximately 12,000 pages of documents.

Anthony E. Clark, Ph.D., is the Lindaman Endowed Chair and Professor of History at Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington. The Ricci Institute currently holds one of the world’s most focused collections of materials and scholarship on the Catholic Church in China, and the addition of this collection assists in filling several areas of current lacunae. Prof. Clark has loaned this vast collection of research materials to the Ricci Institute at the University of San Francisco for the advancement of scholarship on the history of Catholic Christianity in China.

COLLECTION OVERVIEW

Focus: History of Christianity in China, Late-Qing and Republican Era, Boxer Uprising

Collection Creator: Anthony E. Clark, Ph.D.

Primary Organizer: Hannah H. Tweet

Arrangement:
This collection is arranged into 10 series, with a total of 38 boxes. There are multiple boxes in each series and they are distinguished by alphabetical letters, i.e.: 001a, 001b, 001c, etc. Series 001, 002, and 005 each focus on a different missionary order in China – the Society of Jesus, the Order of Friars Minor, and the Congregation of the Mission, respectively. Series 004 contains only audio-visual digital files; though other digital files are located throughout the collection. Both series 006 and series 007 contain information regarding one particular person, Fr. Charles McCarthy, SJ, and Alphonse Favier, CM, respectively. The rest of the collection is divided into three different series of “varia,” though series 008 emphasizes research materials, and series 009 emphasizes information organized by religious order or diocese. Series 010 has no emphasis, but each box has its own described category.
Languages: English, Chinese, French

Scope and Contents of the Materials
The contents of this collection represent the collected materials and personal research notes of Professor Anthony E. Clark; all materials center on the history of Christianity in China, especially Roman Catholic missions during the late-imperial era (ca. 1700-1912). Some materials do, however, extend into the contemporary era, and many documents remain sensitive given China’s present political situation under Communist rule. In addition to the various documents and material objects preserved and catalogued, this collection includes a substantial amount of historical and current photographs, prints, and reproduced images related to Catholic Christianity in China. Also, represented in this collection are a number of rare books on this topic, several of which have been inscribed by the authors. [The provenance of the materials in this collection is sometimes recorded; many of the materials are reproduced from archives around the world, as noted.]

Catalogue of Chinese documents in the "Propaganda Fide" historical archives (1622-1830) /  Ad Dudink ; Zhao Hongtao, Emanuele Raini (scientific editors) ; with an Introductory Essay by Eugenio Menegon.

Included bibliographical references (p.86-98) and index.

Propaganda Fide Historical Archives = (SOCP) Archivio Storico di Propaganda Fide del Dicastero per l‘Evangelizzazione.

This first catalogue of Chinese documents in the Archives of Propaganda Fide offers not only an annotated list of its invaluable resources, but also reproduces the full text of a few rare or unique Chinese Christian texts. The Catalogue (Dudink; eds. Zhao, Raini) is preceded by an essay (Menegon) that gives a full explanation of the entire structure and contents of the Archives pertaining to the China missions, and sketches the activity of Propaganda Fide missionaries in China up to the early 19th century: “the Chinese documents catalogued here open a window on the daily life of the Chinese Christian communities and their pastors, and the reaction of Chinese society to Catholic activities. Read together with the letters and reports sent from Asia in European languages to accompany them, they offer a corrective to a Rome-centered vision of the missions” (Menegon).

The Passionists, a Roman Catholic religious congregation of priests and brothers, were sent to Hunan, China by the Propaganda Fide in Rome. Beginning in 1921 as the singular mission of St. Paul of the Cross Province, Union City, New Jersey, in 1923 Passionists from Holy Cross Province, Chicago, Illinois, also contributed personnel and resources. A total of 80 Passionists were assigned to China. The last Passionist was expelled in 1955.

Primary evangelization occurred in the Diocese of Yuanling 沅陵 in West Hunan under the leadership of Passionist Bishop Cuthbert O'Gara with secondary locations in Hankou and Peiping (Beijing). Also serving in the Yuanling Diocese were the Sisters of Charity of Convent Station, New Jersey; the Sisters of St. Joseph, Baden, Pennsylvania; the Grey Nuns of Ontario, Canada; the Sisters of Charity (Hungary); and the Sisters of Notre Dame (Kalocsa, Hungary).

The Collection consists of:
1. Missionary Correspondence (1921-1955). 16 linear feet. Descriptions and comments on evangelization, daily life, social and political realities shared with Passionist leadership and benefactors. Includes background on the 1929 murders of Passionist Fathers Walter Coveyou, Godfrey Holbein and Clement Seybold.

2. Mission Administrative Records (1921-1980) 8.8 linear feet. Contains documentation on financial and business operations, Hunan baptismal records, telegrams, property deeds, annual reports, press releases, public relations pamphlets, and visitation reports. A small portion of this collection describes the post-1956 period.

3. Sources on individual missionaries. 16 linear feet. Most notable is the handwritten diary of Father Cormac Shanahan’s 1944 trip to Yan'an to interview Mao Zedong, and material on the imprisonment of Bishop O'Gara (1951-1953) and Fathers Justin Garvey and Marcellus White (1953-1955). China coverage found in the The Sign Magazine (1922-1955). Documentation on women religious. 2 linear feet.

"From the Ming and Qing periods there are several collections of imperial edicts or memorials by officials which contain material related to Christianity ... Missionaries and converts themselves collected memorials and edicts related to Christianity in order to show how much the Emperor, officials and other literati favoured the missionaries and respected their doctrine....There were three major contemporary collections of this type...the second is a compilation, Xichao chongzheng ji, attributed to Giulio Aleni and published in 1639....the third....is Xichao ding’an, which by 1684 comprised 3 juan. The publication started in the early 1670’s and had the purpose of defending the ‘restored’ Western astronomy – in April 1669 Ferdinand Verbiest had replaced Yang Guangxian as head of the Astronomical Bureau..."
