NoteJapSin I, 73.a
Sanshan lunxue ji 三山論學紀.
By Ai Rulüe 艾儒略 (Giulio Aleni).
One juan. Bamboo paper in one volume. Reprint by the Lingbaotang 領報堂 in Beijing, 1694 (Kangxi 33).

The title is given in the centre of the title page. On the right there is the name of the author and on the left that of the publisher: Lingbaotang (Church of the Annunciation). The verso of this folio gives the names of the censors: Fei Qigui 費奇規 (Gaspar Ferreira), Yang Manuo 陽瑪諾 (Manuel Dias Jr.), and Fei Lede 費樂德 (Rui de Figueiredo). The proofreaders were Zhang Geng 張賡 of Wenling 溫陵 (Fujian) and Ye Yifan 葉益蕃 of Futang 福唐 (Fujian). This is a reprint made by the Catholic Church in Beijing in 1694 (Kangxi 33).
There is a preface (two and one-half folios) by Su Maoxiang 蘇茂相 and another (three and one-half folios) by Huang Jingfang 黃景昉. The middle of each folio bears the title and the number of each folio is given below. The main text consists of thirty folios, the last of which contains a poem given to Aleni by Ye Xianggao 葉向高 (1562–1627), former Grand Secretary under the Wanli emperor.
The book was written as a result of Aleni’s visit to Ye Xianggao in Sanshan (Fujian) in 1627 (Tianqi 7). There Aleni met the renowned scholar and government official Cao Xuequan 曹學佺 (1574–1646). Their conversation centred on the creation of the universe, the remuneration of the good and the punishment of the wicked, and the problems of the Incarnation and Redemption. The discussion was later recalled by Aleni and published. The title is sometimes rendered with ji 記 instead of ji 紀.

Cf. Courant 7120, 7121, 7122 I (copies of the 1694 reprint).

JapSin I, 73.b
Sanshan lunxue ji 三山論學紀.
By Ai Rulüe 艾儒略 (Giulio Aleni).
One juan. Bamboo paper in one volume.
Reprint by the Catholic Church of Fuzhou (Fujian). No date of publication.

The cover of the book bears a label: Ke Sanshan lunxueji 刻三山論學紀. The Latin inscription reads: “Dialogi de rebus | fidei inter p. Julius Aleni, S.J. | et doctorem Sinam.”
The middle of the title page bears the title in five large Chinese characters. On the right the name of the author is given and on the left the Church of Fuzhou is given as its re-engraver (閩中天主堂重刻). There is no date for the edition. The verso of this folio gives again the title of the book and the name of the author. The censors are the same as in Jap-Sin I, 73a (Ferreira, Dias and de Figueiredo) and also the proofreaders (Zhang Geng and Ye Yifan). The prefaces by Su Maoxiang and Huang Jingfang have two seals at the end: 石水,蘇茂相印 and 黃景昉印,湘隱居士.

JapSin I, 111
Tuiyan zhengdao lun 推驗正道論.
By Wang Yiyuan 王一元 (Alfonso Vagnone).
One juan. Chinese bamboo paper in one volume. No date or place of publication.

The cover bears the title in ink.
Folio 1r gives the title of the book, and the name and zi of the author. Each half folio contains ten columns with nineteen characters in each column. The upper middle of each folio gives the title Zhengdao lun 正道論; below the fish tail the number of the folio is given. The text consists of five and one-half folios.
This booklet deals with God’s creation of the universe and of man. Since man owes his being to God who loves all men He created, it follows that men should love one another. The explanation is based on the summary of the Decalogue: love God above all things and love our neighbor as we love ourselves.
The Latin catalogue has for this number: “Jo. Soerius: Verae religionis demonstratio.” This is obviously a mistake since Wang Yiyuan 王一元, the Chinese name of Vagnone, is given twice as the author.

Cf. Pfister, p. 95; Hsü 1949, p. 113; Courant 6915 III, 7099 I, 7379 IV (Courant does not seem to have known the author of this booklet).

Three copies, two different editions: A+B and C.

Wan-wu chen-yüan [Wanwu zhenyuan] 萬物真原
By Ai Ju-lüeh (Ai Rulüe 艾儒略 (Giulio Aleni)).
One juan. Chinese bamboo paper in one volume. Re-engraved by the Catholic Church of Wu-lin 武林 (Wulin, Hangzhou). No date of publication (edition A+B).

The cover bears the title in Chinese with a Latin inscription: “P. Jul. Aleni | Vera origo omnium rerum.”

The middle of the title page bears the title with the name of the author on the right and the name of the publisher on the left. The verso of this folio gives the name of the author together with that of the censors: Fu Fan-chi 傅汎際(Fu Fanji, Francisco Furtado), Lung Hua-min 龍華民 (Long Huamin, Niccolò Longobardo), and Fei Lo-te 費樂德 (Fei Lede, Rui de Figueiredo). Chang Keng (Zhang Geng 張賡) of Wen-ling 温陵 (Wenling, Fujian) was the proofreader and perhaps also the one who polished the Chinese style.
The preface of the author consists of two and one-half folios, the table of contents of one folio and the main text of twenty-five and one-half folios. The title is given in the upper middle of each folio and the number of each folio below.
The Archive possesses three copies: two of them (A and B) are of the same edition. Both have wide margins. The third copy (C) has a different type of print. Even the text is sometimes different, e.g., the characters 遠西 are given at the end of the last folio of the A and B edition, while C has 泰西. The same is true in folio 1 column 2. Although the publisher of the two editions is known (the Catholic church of Hangzhou), the date of the publications is not. According to Pfister the first edition was published in Hangzhou, but the date is not certain.
The book is written in the form of a discussion and occasionally in the form of a dialogue. Aleni himself was well versed in Chinese, and with the help of Zhang Geng he made a very readable book.

Cf. Pfister, p. 132; Hsü 1949, p. 173; BR, p. XXXIII; Couplet, p. 16; Courant 6889–6893 (6890 II and VII: two different Wulin [Hangzhou] editions without date); Sommervogel, vol. I, col. 158.
