Chinese thought in early German Enlightenment from Leibniz to Goethe : abortive approaches to transcultural understanding / by Bretislav Horyna.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Leibniz's concept of translatio sapientiae as a practice of transcultural exchange -- Theoria cum praxi : Christian Wolff's Oratio de sinarum philosophia practica -- A reconstruction of the teachings of the ancient Chinese according to Georg Bernhard Bilfinger -- Political philosophy and system of government in China : the cameralists Johann Heinrich Gottlob von Justi -- The world is the antithesis of all opposites : Goethe enchanted by China -- How is transcultural comparison possible?

"The book is a philosophical-historical examination of the influence of the knowledge of China imparted by the Jesuits on the thinking of the German Enlightenment in the 18th century. Is it not primarily concerned with a comprehensive reconstruction of the philosophy of the thinkers discussed, but rather with the political and intellectual contextualisation of a line of thought that recognised the practical philosophy and state organisation of China as different from that of Europe, but equal to it and in some respects superior to it. This challenged the claim of theology that Christian revelation alone provided access to truth. The volume analyses the opposition to this line of thought, especially on the part of Protestant orthodoxy. It argues that in the German Enlightenment of the 18th century, the possibility emerged to conceive philosophy on the basis of reason as a phenomenon not limited to Europe but as a path followed under different conditions in China"-- Provided by publisher.

Descripción de China / Matteo Ricci ; Edición de Giuseppe Marino.

Título original: Descrizione della Cina [Della entrata della Comapagnia di Giesù e Christianità nelle Cina] (libro I)
Includes bibligraphical references (p. 69-73) and index.

La «Descripción de China» de Matteo Ricci es considerada una de las obras más importantes acerca de la civilización, filosofía, historia, costumbres y geografía de China, tanto por el rigor de sus fuentes literarias como por la riqueza y autoridad de las orales, en especial los literatos chinos con los que el jesuita italiano tuvo trato. Primero de los cinco libros de su prolífica Historia de la introducción del cristianismo en China (también conocida como Commentarj della Cina), la Descripción es un trabajo etnográfico que cabe hoy enmarcar en el ámbito de las disciplinas que estudian los puentes culturales entre Europa y Asia, particularmente con el Lejano Oriente y China. Ricci consigue presentar a los lectores occidentales una China comprensible, pero que representa al mismo tiempo un desafío para la cartografía europea de los saberes.—Publisher description.

Dr. Giuseppe Marino; Ph.D., Spanish philology; associate professor of Spanish Language and Literature and co-founder of the new Spanish department at the College of Foreign Language and Literature of Fudan University in Shanghai. He was previously a visiting researcher at The University of Tokyo and The Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History at the University of San Francisco. His main research area lies within the study of Spanish Philology and Literature of the Golden Age (16-17th century) with further interest in the Modern Age, cultural translation and European intellectual history as well as its impact in Japan during the Christian Century (1550-1650)--LC Authority rec'd.

“This dissertation suggests the new knowledge to be won by approaching the Jesuit missions as a macrohistorical phenomenon. Its first half, using the concept of local religion as a foil, develops the idea of "global religion" and suggests why the Jesuits' mentality can only be understood in a world-spanning context. Global religion also served to give legitimacy to a developing world church, to fuel (and to be fueled by) the Jesuit world missionary project.”—OCLC note.

"The fascinating story of Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) changing himself while trying to change the religious faith of the Chinese has been told many times. As a Jesuit, Ricci pushed Christian evangelism by claiming a theistic affinity with Confucianism and by presenting himself as a defender of Confucian orthodoxy from Buddhism. Already in his day, Ricci’s unusual cultural adaptation was controversial; not surprisingly, scholarly studies have hitherto focused almost exclusively on variations of this controversy. Reacting mostly to Ricci’s account of events, this line of research has provided insight, but much more can be learned about the early-modern cross-cultural encounter of Europe and China if the perspective is broadened to include his intricate and intriguing relationships with his Chinese friends. With his distinctively different religiosity, personal charisma, and knowledge of European science and mathematics, Ricci impressed the social and cultural elite of late Ming China, many of whom befriended him and some of whom became Christian converts. However, between him and his Chinese friends there were always disagreements, resulting sometimes from a lack of understanding or misunderstanding, and sometimes even when they apparently understood each other perfectly. Followed closely as the investigative thread of this book, the many kinds of disagreement cast an unusual light on an otherwise long familiar subject and are instructive for the at times tense and even hostile, but in reality always mutually energizing relationship of both competition and complement between China and the West in the early twenty-first century"--p.4 of cover.

A Jesuit in the Forbidden City : Matteo Ricci, 1552-1610 / R. Po-chia Hsia.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [342]-349) and index.
Local access dig.pdf [Hsia-Jesuit Forbidden City Matteo Ricci.pdf]

"A 16th century Italian Jesuit, Matteo Ricci was the founder of the Catholic Mission in China and one of the most famous missionaries of all time. A pioneer in bringing Christianity to China, Ricci spent twenty eight years in the country, in which time he crossed the cultural divides between China and the West by immersing himself in the language and culture of his hosts. Even 400 years later, he is still one of the best known westerners in China, celebrated for introducing western scientific and religious ideas to China and for explaining Chinese culture to Europe.

The first critical biography of Ricci to use all relevant sources, both Chinese and Western, A Jesuit in the Forbidden City tells the story of a remarkable life that bridged Counter-Reformation Catholic Europe and China under the Ming dynasty. Hsia follows the life of Ricci from his childhood in Macerata, through his education in Rome, to his sojourn in Portuguese India, before the start of his long journey of self-discovery and cultural encounter in the Ming realm. Along the way, we glimpse the workings of the Portuguese maritime empire in Asia, the mission of the Society of Jesus, and life in the European enclave of Macau on the Chinese coast, as well as invaluable sketches of Ricci's fellow Jesuits and portraits of the Chinese mandarins who formed networks indispensable for Ricci's success.

Examining a range of new sources, Hsia offers important new insights into Ricci's long period of trial and frustration in Guangdong province, where he first appeared in the persona of a foreign Buddhist monk, before the crucial move to Nanchang in 1595 that led to his sustained intellectual conversation with a leading Confucian scholar and subsequent synthesis of Christianity and Confucianism in propagating the Gospels in China. With his expertise in cartography, mathematics, and astronomy, Ricci quickly won recognition, especially after he had settled in Nanjing in 1598, the southern capital of the Ming dynasty. As his reputation and friendships grew, Ricci launched into a sharp polemic against Buddhism, while his career found its crowning achievement in the imperial capital of Beijing, leaving behind a life, work, and legacy that is still very much alive today."--Publisher note.

Jesuit mission and submission : Qing rulership and the fate of Christianity in China, 1644-1735 / by Litian Swen.
Includes bibliographical references and index.

Jesuit Mission and Submission' explains how the Jesuits entered the Manchu world after the Manchus conquered Beijing in 1644. Supported by Qing court archives, the book discovers the Jesuits? Manchu-style master-slave relationship with the Kangxi emperor. Against the backdrop of this relationship, the book reconstructs the back and forth negotiations between Kangxi and the Holy See regarding Chinese Rites Controversy (1705-1721), and shows that the Jesuits, although a group of foreign priests, had close access to Kangxi and were a trusted part of the Imperial circle. This book also redefines the rise and fall of the Christian mission in the early Qing court through key events, such as the Calendar Case and Yongzheng's prohibition of Christianity.

"L'arrivée des Jésuites en Chine au XVIème siècle constitue le deuxième mouvement d'introduction sur le territoire chinois et dans sa culture, d'une pensée non chinoise. Cette étude porte sur les relations qu'ont entretenues les Jésuites à leur arrivée en Chine, avec les milieux confucéens. L'auteur suggère ici qu'une rencontre entre deux cultures bien différentes n'est pas toujours conflictuelle et ne se solde pas forcément par l'écrasement de l'une des des parties (comme ce fut le cas au XIXème siècle) ; il rend hommage aussi à Matteo Ricci (1552-1610).

T.P verso and Colophon title also in English: Matteo Ricci in China, by Mark K. Chang, S.J.

Inscribed by the author to Fr. Edward Malatesta, January 18, 1985

民國七十二 [1983]; Tag in English pasted on t.p. verso: "Window Press, 1985"

This is the first volume of a wide-ranging study of the spread and penetration of Western books in late-Ming, early-Qing China via Jesuit missionaries. The study is based mainly on archival sources (letters,manuscripts, treatises), supplemented with the extant books (‘Beitang collection’), especially those containing an inscription (ca. 2,500). This first volume focuses on the logistics of the book acquisiton: from the selection made in China, through the role of the book agents and donors in Europe, to the delivery routes. The prosopographical study of the names mentioned in the book inscriptions revealsnot only the identity of the original owners and the intentional donors - and by consequence the milieusof interest and participation in the Jesuit mission - but especially the roughly fifteen regional supportnetworks of the mission, ranging from Sicily and the Low Countries, on the one hand, and Mitteleuropa and Portugal, on the other. The next volume will focus on the formation of regional Western libraries inChina (in Peking and the other main cities, but also in ‘minor’ residences), the different ‘classes’ of booksrepresented (from Bible study through sciences to belles lettres), and the different ways these books were used by the Jesuit readers for their missionary goals, within the program of an ‘apostolate of the press’,leading to the transmission to, and reception by, the Chinese literati. As such, this study - when completed - will reveal a largely neglected chapter of European book and reading history, and at the same time a crucial chapter in the intercultural exchange between the late humanistic Western culture and Chinese culture, in which the printed book played a pivotal role.--Publisher webpage.

P. Johann Adam Schall von Bell S.J. und die Geheimakten zum Gerichtsprozeß der Jahre 1664-1665 in China / Martin Gimm. Tang Ruowang yu Qingchao mibendang  湯若望與清朝密本檔 /  Ji Mu zhu 嵇穆著.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Johann Adam Schall von Bell S.J. (1592–1666), der sich fast fünf Jahrzehnte in China aufhielt, gilt als einer der wichtigsten und einflussreichsten Persönlichkeiten der Frühgeschichte chinesisch-europäischer Beziehungen. Sowohl auf religiösem wie wissenschaftlichem Gebiet hervorragend ausgewiesen verstand er es, in stets tatkräftigem Einsatz seine Kenntnisse bis hinauf zu dem jugendlichen, ersten Kaiser der neuen manjurischen Qing-Dynastie weiterzugeben.

Martin Gimm entwickelt in seiner Studie auf der Grundlage neu erschlossener Quellen eine revidierte Chronologie des Wirken Schalls. Gleichzeitig gibt er einen Ausblick auf die in den 1660er Jahren in China aufkommenden antieuropäischen Bewegungen und die sich um 1664 aus den Anklagen des berüchtigten Yang Guangxian entwickelnden Strafaktionen gegen Schall, die schließlich zu seinem Todesurteil führten. Gimm wertet hierfür insbesondere die 24 um 1990 neu aufgefundenen manjurischen Geheimakten zum Prozessgeschehen aus, deren wichtiges I. Dokument in Übersetzung vorgelegt wird. Inhalt und Wesen sämtlicher Geheimakten, die Anklagepunkte, die beteiligten Behörden, Institutionen und Personen sowie die ausgesprochenen Strafurteile werden detailliert dargestellt. Abgerundet wird die Untersuchung durch ein ausführliches Quellen- und Literaturverzeichnis und einen Index. --Publisher note.

Privileges for being slaves: Christian missionaries in the early Qing court / by Litian Swen.
Thesis (Ph.D., History)—-City University of New York, 2019.
Bibliography: p.244-257.

This dissertation works to elucidate the long-term confusion over the identity of the Christian fathers in the early Qing court. The identity for which this dissertation argues is straightforward: Christian fathers were identified by the Kangxi emperor as his family slaves. The master-slave relationship has long been overlooked because it was overshadowed by an overwhelming focus on the Jesuit Adam Schall, who entered the Manchu court as a Chinese-style minister. Shifting the focus from Schall, this dissertation starts by showing two seldom mentioned Jesuits, Ludovico Buglio and Gabriel de Magalhaens, who entered into Manchu service as slaves. It was, this dissertation shows, not Schall but Buglio, Magalhaens, and the network they built through their slave status that set the foundation for future Jesuits’ successful participation in the Manchu empire. With the master-slave relationship between Kangxi and the Christian fathers established, the fourth and fifth chapters examine Kangxi’s receptions of the two papal legations as family guests instead of as foreign embassies of state.
The identity of the Christian missionaries, this dissertation shows, determined both rise and fall of the Christian mission in the Kangxi and Yongzheng’s reigns.

The studies gathered in this book make an important contribution to expanding knowledge of the intercultural relations established between Europe, namely Portugal, and China, during the 17th and 18th centuries. The thirteen texts reveal aspects that are little known about archives and materials and bring to light a set of documentary funds, most of them unpublished. In close articulation with the documentation published on the Res Sinicae digital platform, works and collective and individual journeys of some agents of this interculturality are approached, namely, some Portuguese Jesuits from the vice province of China and the province of Japan: Álvaro Semedo (1585–1658), Francisco Furtado (1587–1653), António de Gouveia (1592/1594–1677), Francisco Cardim (1596–1659), Tomás Pereira (1646–1708) and Marcelo Leitão (1679–1755).
This book also makes known some of the ways and means of cultural and scientific transmission operated in both directions, between China and Europe, in the period 1600–1800. Topics such as the reception of Martino Martini in Portugal, in 1657; the role of foreign Jesuits in the teaching of mathematics in the Jesuit colleges of Évora and Lisbon, in the 18th century; the spread of European astrology in Asia; or, still, how Western sinology, in the 19th century, ceased to be a field of knowledge dominated by Catholic missionaries.

The book «Res Sinicae». Pessoas, papéis e intercâmbios culturais entre a Europa e a China (1600–1800) brings together a set of studies initially presented at the Res Sinicae 2021. Arquivos e Materiais Conference, held on April 15 and 16 of that year. Subsequently, other texts were incorporated into the book in order to complete the theme under study. The texts published here were, in a first phase, subject to evaluation by the Editorial Board of the Res Sinicae project and, in a second phase, the target of peer review. The publication of this work, within the framework of the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) project entitled «Res Sinicae. Base digital de fontes documentais em latim e em português sobre a China (séculos XVI a XVIII). Levantamento, edição, tradução e estudos» (PTDC/LLT-OUT/31941/2017), housed in the Center for Classical Studies of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Lisbon, responds to one of its main priorities, that of producing and disseminating results of the research carried out by the team and collaborators.

The thirteen studies gathered in this volume reveal a set of documentary funds, most of them unpublished, and point to new insights in the context of intercultural relations established between Europe, with a special focus on Portugal, and China, between 1600 and 1800. This opens up new understandings, whether in relation to individual paths taken by cultural intermediaries, or in relation to collective strategies for transferring knowledge and information, or in relation to contact and interaction with the alterity. Such paths were possible from the revisitation of known archives and documentary collections, as well as the unveiling of new collections and the availability of unpublished documents that were central to the knowledge of the exchanges registered in both directions, between China and Europe in the Early Modern Period.

"Through the comparative analysis of the extant copies in both manuscript and printed form, and at the same time trying to separate the contribution to the original work given by other scholars who possessed it, the present study aims at reconstructing the evolution course of Martini's grammar from the older Grammatica Sinica to the refined and annotated copy of the Grammatica Linguae Sinensis. This last version is included into this study in annotated transcript and English translation"--Page 4 of cover.
