Zhongguo lishi : cong shangu zhi gongyuan yuannian 中國歷史 : 從上古至公元元年 / Martini, Martino 衛匡國, Masini, Federico 馬西尼, Paternicò, Luisa M.Socol, Carlo 苏国怡

內容簡介

為浙江省社科規劃重大課題“衛匡國全集”之一，受到義大利外交與國際合作部資助。習近平主席曾在義大利《晚郵報》發表署名文章，對衛匡國（Martino Martini）等人在中西文化交流上所作貢獻充分肯定。衛匡國的《中國歷史》是在歐洲出版的第一部系統、詳實地描述從中華民族的起源至漢哀帝這一漫長時段中國古代歷史著作，向西方展示了古老而又燦爛的中華文明，其詳盡程度以及在歐洲產生的影響是此前其他著作所無法比擬的。

衛匡國意圖以蒂托·李維（Tito Livio）的羅馬史《羅馬建城紀年》為範本，以每部十卷的方式向西方介紹中國的歷史。從本書的拉丁文原名為《中國歷史·第一部十卷》中可見衛匡國本來應該計畫在這部《十卷》之後還有後續的兩部《十卷》，但隨著他的早逝，其後續的中國歷史著作沒能問世。本書卷一介紹了中國的神話和中國人的世界起源觀；卷二為夏代史；卷三為商代卷；卷四、卷五為周代史；卷六為秦代史；卷七至卷十均為西漢史。書稿內容以多部中國典籍為底本，並附有衛匡國本人，義大利當代漢學家白佐良、馬西尼、陸商隱、安德偉，以及中文版主編張剛峰、蘇國怡，譯者瞿姍姍，審校陶磊等人的大量學術注解。
