[Martyrs of Soochow. 1950-1951]

"Letters of postulation 1950 (Cover letters from bishops—addressed to Ignatius Kiong, Bishop of Shanghai)," i.e., Gong Pinmei 龔品梅, 1901-2000. The collection also contains copies (?) of letters sent by Kiong.

Typescript and manuscript letters in French and Latin.

Concerns the martyrdom of António José Henriques 黃安多 (1707-1748), Tristano de Attimis 譚方濟 (1701-1748), and two Chinese catechists.

The letters concern "les quatre glorieuses victimes [qui] ont donné leur vie en haine de la foi au XVIIième [sic] siècle en ce territoire de Soochow...ce sont deux missionnaires de la Compagnie de Jésus, un portugais, P. Antoine Henriques ; un italien, P. François de Attimis et deux catéchistes chinois, Joseph T'ang et Philippe Wang, morts tous les quatre en 1748." (Kiong to Fumasoni-Bionchi [?], March 12, 1951). The canonization of these four, Kiong argues in the letter, would strengthen the resolve of Chinese Catholics in the face of the "graves épreuves qui sont maintenant les nôtres."

Dans l'ombre du fils du ciel : le destin extraordinaire de Pierre Martial Cibot, jésuite à la cour de l'Empereur de Chine au XVIIIe siècle / Laurent Cibot.

Bibliography: p. [191]-193.

Que savons-nous de la Chine ? Comment cette connaissance nous est-elle parvenue ? Il est passionnant de découvrir le destin extraordinaire de Pierre Martial Cibot, un jésuite à la cour de l'empereur de Chine au XVIIIe siècle.

Comme le souligne Jean-Pierre Raffarin dans la préface de ce livre "on a du mal à imaginer aujourd'hui des débats qui ont pu animer les sociétés européennes du XVIIe et du XVIIIe siècles, e n France et en Angleterre notamment, sur le régime politique chinois. Les partisans des Lumières comme Voltaire ou John Locke, opposaient les moeurs politiques et le pouvoir jugé excessif de leurs monarques, au gouvernement éclairé des Empereurs de Chine, avec une administration de mandarins bien formés et dévoués à l'intérêt général, qui tempéraient leur pouvoir en filtrant les décisions qu'ils devaient prendre". Découvrir ce que fit, en son temps, Pierre Martial Cibot, nous permet de mesurer l'écart de nos civilisations, mais aussi leurs ressemblances. Il est passionnant de lire son érudition, sa capacité à nous inciter à avoir l'esprit curieux envers la Chine. Nous sommes ainsi éblouis par ce que les jésuites ont su apporter tant à la Chine qu'à la France. Un savoir, une transmission dont il est plus que nécessaire aujourd'hui de faire revivre. Le travail de Laurent Cibot est ici fantastique, et l'on comprend sa volonté de retrouver les traces de son ancêtre.

The Mandate of Heaven : strategy, revolution, and the first European translation of Sunzi's Art of war (1772) / Adam Parr

Includes bibliographical references and index

Translating the Sunzi -- Joseph Amiot's Sunzi -- The thirteen chapters on military art, a work composed in Chinese / by Sunzi -- Interpreting Amiot's Sunzi -- Strategy and revolution -- Joseph Amiot's letter to Henri Berlin, Beijing, September 23, 1766 -- Amiot's life

"The Mandate of Heaven examines the first European version of Sunzi's Art of War, which was translated from Chinese by Joseph Amiot, a French missionary in Beijing, and published in Paris in 1772. His work is presented in English for the first time. Amiot undertook this project following the suppression of the Society of Jesus in France with the aim of demonstrating the value of the China mission to the French government. He addressed his work to Henri Bertin, minister of state, beginning a thirty-year correspondence between the two men. Amiot framed his translation in order to promote a radical agenda using the Chinese doctrine of the "mandate of heaven." This was picked up within the sinophile and radical circle of the physiocrats, who promoted China as a model for revolution in Europe. The work also arrived just as the concept of strategy was emerging in France. Thus Amiot's Sunzi can be placed among seminal developments in European political and strategic thought on the eve of the revolutionary era"-- Provided by publisher
