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

"...Latin-Chinese list of the names of 227 saints found in the ecclesiastical calendar of Lodovico Buglio’s Misa jingdian 彌撒經典 (1670), a partial translation of Missiale Romanum."

"Lodovico Buglio 利類思 (1606-1682) translated substantial parts of the liturgical manuals, in view of the formation of a Chinese clergy and in the expectation that Rome would grant new permission for an administration of the sacraments in Chinese. (He) started with the translation of the Missal, Misa jingdian 彌撒經典, published with a frontispiece in Latin: MISSALE ROMANUM, Auctoritate Pauli V, Pont. M., sinicè Redditum a Patre Ludovico Buglio, Societatis Iesu. Pekim, in Collegio Ejusdem Societatis, Anno M.DC.LXX....

In 1685, Philippe Couplet donated a copy of Misa jingdian to the Pope, but permission to celebrate the liturgy in Chinese did not follow. As a result, these manuals were hardly used after their publication..." --Cf. Standaert, Handbook of Christianity in China, vol. 1, p. 248, 627.

Yongding linian zhanliri fa 永定歷年瞻禮日法.
By Bo Yingli 柏應理 (Philippe Couplet).
One juan. Chinese bamboo paper in one volume. No date or place of publication.

The cover bears the title and a Latin inscription: “Dierum festorum | Kalendarium perpe | tue fixum.”
The title page bears the title of the book together with the following statement: 泰西耶穌會士撰 (Composed by the Jesuits of the Great West) | 蒲陽景教後學梓行 (Published by the Catholics of Puyang [Zhejiang]) | 休寧後學若瑟重梓 (Reprinted by Joseph of Xiuning [Anhui]).
There are nine columns in each half folio. The first column of each paragraph contains twenty characters and the rest of the paragraph nineteen. The text consists of fifteen folios. From folio 8 on the folios have been repaired, but the damage makes them difficult to read. This is an ecclesiastical calendar divided into five parts:

1. A perpetual calendar of the feasts of the year.
2. The fixed feasts according to the Western calendar.
3. The feasts which fall on certain days of the week.
4. The ten great movable feasts of the year according to the Western calendar.
5. The feasts according to the Datong calendar 大統曆.
