"...Eighteenth century Jesuit mission monographs and reports. The contributions of Joseph-Marie Amiot, Pierre-Martial Cibot, and Antoine Gaubil are preponderant. Amoit’s 350-page essay on the antiquity of the Chinese as proved by their monuments is in vol. 2; his monograph on Chinese music and musical instruments is in vol. 6; his renditions of three of the Seven Military Classics and two mid Qing military drill manuals are in vols. 7 and 8 (note); his 40-page life of Koung-tse (“appellee vulgairement Confucius”) is in vol. 12; his 230-page chronological table of the Chinese empire is in vol. 13; and his scoop reporting on the Siku quanshu 四庫全書 is in vols. 13 and 15 (Europe’s and America’s first information on the imperial collection). Cibot contributed about 100 studies on all kinds of Chinese manufactures and commodities. These are scattered in most of the volumes. Gaubil’s pioneering 500-page chronological history of the Tang, Abrégé de l’histoire chinoise de la grande dynastie des T’ang (completed by 1753) is in vols 15-16. It was, he says, based on the 21 Histories, the Tongjian 通鑑, the Tongjian gangmu 通鑑綱目, and the Lidai jishi nianbiao 歷代紀事年表. His studies of Chinese chronology are also in vol. 16 (based, he says, on Tse-tchikang-kien-ta-tuen [probably Zizhi gangjian zhengshi daquan 資治綱鑑正史大全. Zhong Xing 鐘惺, ed. end Ming]). Vol. 10 contains a 300-page general index to vols 1-10 (Cordier also lists all the contents). For a background to the Mémoires, see Dehergne, 1983. -– Cf. Wilkinson,Chinese history, a new manual. p. 398.

" ...covers the 24 standard histories up to and including the Mingshi and including the Jiu Tangshu and the Jiu Wudaishi ... of the [three Qing studies] of the standard histories, this is the most interesting from the point of view of analytic insights, as opposed to philological expertise."

Gift of Mr. Joseph Ku in memory of Francis Kai 嵇義達 and his father Ca Chit 嵇哲 [LC usage Ji Zhe 嵇哲].  These 24 volumes of Chinese history books were in Francis & Ca Chit Kai’s collection. As Francis was passing this worldly life, he was happy to find the Ricci institute at Boston College as the final destination of their precious collection. [Ca Chit was a Lecturer at the University of Singapore called by Jesus Himself at his deathbed and was baptized on November, 1966 by Father Jeroom Deblauwe, CICM. He died on November 16, 1966].
