Atlante della Cina di Michele Ruggieri 羅明堅, S.J. (1543-1607)

"Born in Spinazzola in Puglia (Italy), Ruggieri entered the Society of Jesus at the age of twenty-nine after holding official posts under Philip II, King of Naples. He was assigned to the Eastern missions and arrived in Goa on September 13, 1578. (Matteo Ricci was a fellow passenger). In July 1579 he arrived in Macau to implement the revolutionary missiological policy inaugurated by Alessandro Valignano 範禮安, S.J. (1538-1606). In 1583, after establishing friendly contacts with Chinese officials in Guangdong Province he was granted permission to build a church and residence at Zhaoqing 肇慶. In September of 1583 Ruggieri and Ricci took up residence there, establishing the first post-medieval Christian mission in China.
Like Ricci and other pioneers of the Jesuit China mission, Ruggieri was accomplished in many areas, and cartographic and linguistic skills were deemed particularly important. On Ruggieri's map (c. 1609) can be seen detailed information on terrain, cities, and waterways. Learning the Chinese language was not restricted to local dialects but also to learning guanhua 官話, the official language known in Western countries as Mandarin. Dictionaries and lexicons were created and the first semi-standard romanizations for Chinese characters were created (based on Portuguese letter values: see the Portuguese-Chinese Dictionary in this display). Published letters describing Chinese civilization sent by Ricci, Ruggieri, and others to Europe were highly popular and avidly studied by historians and philosophers."--Display placard text.

----------------------------

"Pubblicato nella prestigiosa serie della Libreria dello Stato (IPZS), La cartografia di Matteo Ricci è il quinto volume della prevista collana delle Opere di Matteo Ricci, programmate in occasione delle celebrazioni ricciane, a cui sta per seguire il sesto (Mnemotecnica occidentale) presso l’editore Quodlibet. L’opera, frutto di sei anni di lavoro, si avvale della collaborazione di dodici studiosi italiani e stranieri, esperti di storia della cartografia e specialisti di fonti ricciane.

Si divide in cinque parti. L’introduzione generale, in cui l’autore ricostruisce la storia della cartografia ricciana, la formazione cartografica di Ricci, i documenti relativi all’attività cartografica emergenti dall’opera del gesuita maceratese e presenta una interpretazione complessiva del mappamondo ricciano, come “vera espressione del libro del Cielo e della Terra”. “La cartografia – afferma il prof. Mignini - era divenuta, negli intenti di Ricci e nella pratica effettiva, il principale strumento per l’introduzione del Cristianesimo in Cina”.

«Ricci – scrive l’autore nell’introduzione - non nasconde mai che l’enorme diffusione della carta ne fece lo strumento di gran lunga più importante ed efficace nella strategia di “autorizzazione”, ossia di acquisizione di credito e autorità presso il mondo dei confuciani, di sfaldamento dei pregiudizi cinesi nei confronti degli stranieri, e nella dimostrazione della tesi secondo cui in Oriente e in Occidente l’umanità è guidata da una sostanziale unità di “spirito e di principi”, come scrive Li Zhizao nella sua prefazione. Tesi, queste, centrali, nella strategia comunicativa ed evangelizzatrice di Ricci».

La seconda parte del volume è costituita da otto saggi che fanno il punto sulle conoscenze attuali intorno alla cartografia ricciana. Sono di John Day, Francisco Roque de Oliveira, Giorgio Mangani, Maria Antonietta Conti, Huang Shijian e Gong Yingyan tradotti da Paolo De Troia, Angelo Cattaneo, Hiro’o Aoyama e Lim Jongtae.
Il volume presenta una riproduzione dell’originale cinese e traduzione italiana a fronte, con annotazione analitica, del mappamondo 1602, a cura di Huang Ping e Filippo Mignini: una nuova traduzione dal cinese, del mappamondo ricciano, già pubblicato da P. D’Elia nel 1938.

Tre Appendici propongono documenti inediti e rari riguardanti la prima circolazione della cartografia ricciana in Cina, evidenziando il ruolo avuto da alcuni intellettuali cinesi, tra i quali Qu Taisu e Feng Yingjing. Bibliografia, indice dei toponimi e indice dei nomi completano il prestigioso volume."-- Publication announcement.

"This catalog contains fifty-five maps held in the Special Collections Department of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Library. The collection 'vividly reflects Europe’s lasting fascination and cross-cultural exchange with China over many centuries.' Many early maps of China were based on Jesuit models, for example, plate 28 by Joan Blaeu after Martini and plate 29 by Nicolas Sanson after Ricci.
Cartography, mathematics, and astronomy were important methods of exchange between the Jesuits and the Chinese literati during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In collaboration with Chinese mapmakers, the Jesuits produced maps in which China was represented in greater and greater detail to European audiences. Likewise, Europe, the Western coast of Africa, and the Americas were introduced to Chinese audiences during this era."--Display placard text.

This collection offers a challenging new interpretation of technical knowledge in Chinese thought and practice. Conveying technical knowledge in China through charts, plans or drawings ( tu ) dates back to antiquity. Earlier studies focused on specialised forms of tu like maps or drawings of machines. Here, however, tu is identified in Chinese terms, viz. as a philosophical category of knowledge production: visual templates for action, spanning a range from mandala to modernist mapping projects, inseparable from writing but with distinctive powers of communication. A distinction is made between two principal types of tu : ritual/symbolic and representational, highlighting essential issues such as historical shifts in their significance, the relations between tu and political power, media for inscribing tu and the impact of printing, and encounters with the West.

Regnum Chinae : the printed Western maps of China to 1735 / Marco Caboara.

The first European map of China faintly relied on the copy of a Chinese original, obtained through bribing and espionage; the last covered in this book was the result of the largest land survey ever made until that time. These two and another 125 maps depict, sometimes uniquely, sometimes copying each other, a country whose images were so different that it was hard to understand which to trust.

This study reproduces and describes, for the first time, all the maps of China printed in Europe between 1584 and 1735, unravelling the origin of each individual map, their different printing, issues and publication dates. It also tells, for each, the unique story that made possible these visions from another world, stories marked by scholarly breakthroughs, obsession, missionary zeal, commercial sagacity and greed. China on Copper Plates: The First 150 Years of Chinese Maps in Western Prints (1584-1735).

A summary:
On June 23, 2022, the fourth session of the academic lecture series on "The Weavers of Four-Dimensional Space-Time and Their Creation" on the History of Maps was held in the form of an online seminar at the Kuang-Chi International Scholars Center. Dr. Marco Caboara, an Italian scholar from the Lee Shau Kee Library of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, gave a lively presentation entitled "China on Copperplate - the First 150 Years of Western Printed Maps of China, 1584-1735". The lecture was conducted in both Chinese and English. Associate Professor Lin Hong from the School of Humanities of Shanghai Normal University served as the moderator and translator. Dr. Yang Xunling, Deputy Director of the Library of Macau University of Science and Technology, served as the main responder. Professor Huang Yijun of Minzu University of China, and Deputy Youth Associate of Fudan University Researcher Ding Yannan, Dr. Catarina Batista and Dr. Ângela Gil from the Library of Macau University of Science and Technology, and Dr. Zheng Man from the Free University of Berlin participated in the discussion. Many domestic and foreign scholars and map enthusiasts listened to the lecture online. The lecture lasted nearly three hours.

The Selden map of China :  a new understanding of the Ming dynasty / Hongping Annie Nie.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 66-69) and index.

A discovery in the library -- A cartographic work of art -- The history of the Selden map -- Ming dynasty maritime trade -- A new understanding of the Ming dynasty.

Dating from the seventeenth century at the height of the Ming Dynasty, the Selden Map of China reveals a country very different from popular conceptions of the time, looking not inward to the Asian landmass but outward to the sea. Discovered in the stacks of the Bodleian Library, this beautifully decorative map of China is in fact a seafaring chart showing Ming Dynasty trade routes. It is the earliest surviving example of Chinese merchant cartography and is evidence that Ming China was outward-looking, capitalistic and vibrant. Exploring the commercial aims of the Ming Dynasty, the port city of Quanzhou and its connections with the voyages of the early traveller Zheng He, this book describes the historical background of the era in which the map was used. It also includes an analysis of the skills and techniques involved in Chinese map-making and the significance of the compass bearings, scale and ratios found on the map, all of which combine to represent a breakthrough in cartographic techniques. The enthralling story revealed by this extraordinary artefact is central to an understanding of the long history of China's relationship with the sea and with the wider world.
