"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.

"Global exploration in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries led to new interactions between Europe and Asia. Jesuit priests were instrumental in spreading knowledge of the world to China and information about China to Europe. China at the Center focuses on two masterpieces of seventeenth-century map-making that illustrate this exchange of information (and misinformation). The first map is the Kunyu wanguo quantu, or Map of the Ten Thousand Countries of the Earth, also known as the 1602 Ricci map, after Matteo Ricci, the Jesuit priest who helped create it. The second is the 1674 Verbiest world map, which was also made by a Jesuit priest, Ferdinand Verbiest, for the Chinese court. These two maps are among the earliest, rarest, and largest woodblock-printed maps to survive from the period. They will be examined through the lens of the development of cartography in China and through the biographies of the fascinating men who were instrumental in their production. Maps are political objects, and the inclusion of elaborate and extensive notations on both these maps illustrate the fascinating relationships between the Jesuits and the Chinese courts. These maps represent the meeting of two worldviews, and the information they contain provided Europeans with greater knowledge of China and the Chinese with new ideas about geography, astronomy, and the natural sciences. This book accompanies the exhibition China at the Center, at the Asian Art Museum March 4-May 8, 2016, which brings together the 1602 Ricci map from the James Ford Bell Trust in Minneapolis and the 1674 Verbiest map from the Library of Congress in Washington D.C"-- Provided by publisher.

ABSTRACT: This thesis examines the cartographic works of Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci (1552-1610), who spent his last twenty-seven years in Ming China. In particular, by focusing on Ricci's 1602 map, I examine the broader significance of Ricci's cartographic production to understand how it reflected early modern Chinese-European exchanges. In addition to the 1602 map, I use Ricci's letters to construct a framework for his cartographic involvement. In his writings, Ricci revealed his rationale for mapmaking and explained his collection of information. Only one year after his entry into China, in 1584, Ricci compiled a world map in the Chinese language and featured China towards the center of the map. In 1602, he completed the third revision of his map, adding a significant amount of details to his previous versions. This map was reproduced during and after Ricci's lifetime and has become a celebrated map in cartography. In my thesis, I contend that more than a proselytizing tool to attract the attention of the Chinese elites, Ricci used cartography to organize, preserve and transmit the information he collected during his travel in China. In my thesis, I show that while Ricci established himself as a religious man, under the influence of both his humanist education and his travel, he also became increasingly interested in the natural world that surrounded him. Ricci's letters and map reveal his intellectual development. In particular, Ricci's long tenure in China witnessed two phases of his intellectual transformation. The first phase, from 1582 to 1595, displayed Ricci's humanist education as he learned about China through the writing and translation of ancient Chinese and Western classics. In the second phase, from 1596 to 1610, however, Ricci presented himself as a scientist as he applied his scientific skills to collect information while traveling. In the process, he became increasingly interested in cartography which he came to view as a powerful tool to organize and present information. In time, Ricci's cartographic works became more sophisticated, reflecting both his European education and the Chinese culture.

The maps selected for the book are either of academic significance, made with exquisite craftsmanship or rare to be seen among the collection institutes. They are organized into 9 categories: (1) general maps (2) local administrative maps (3) flood control and embankment maps (4) military and traffics maps (5) city maps (6) political and boundary maps (7) maps of temples, palaces and royal gardens (8) maps of social and economic conditions (9) mixed-theme maps.

The book is published in both in English and Chinese. The contents include preface, introduction, map descriptions, and an appendix of the historical Chinese maps collected in the Library of Congress. Each map description contains the bibliographic information, notes on the map content and a reference for relative study. Part of the Chinese maps housed in the Library of Congress used to be imperial collection, but were scattered into other countries at the end of the Qing dynasty.

The publication is carried out by Academia Sinica Digital Center as a continuing effort to further expand the outcome of the Taiwan e-Learning and Digital Archives Program (TELDAP) which ended in 2012. This publication project derived from a sub-project under the "International Collaboration and Promotion of TELDAP", titled "Searching for the Qing Court Maps - The Digital Program of Seeking the Scattered Chinese Historical Cartography."

"Jesuit astronomers and cartographers have a long history of service to the Chinese Empire, and introduced many new technological and theoretical modifications to traditional Chinese maps and charts. The Jesuit missioner Matteo Ricci (Chinese name Li Madou 利瑪竇), was a skilled linguist, mathematician, and cartographer who reached Macau from Goa in 1583 and began intensive study of Chinese. By 1584, Ricci had copied a European map in his possession and translated the names into Chinese. This work, the Yudi shanhai quantu 輿地山海全圖, is now lost, but its outline is preserved in the Tushubian 圖書編 by Ricci’s friend and associate Zhang Huang 章潢.
In 1600 a revised edition of this map was published with the slightly altered title Shanhai yudi quantu 山海輿地全圖. With the help of the eminent scholar Li Zhizao 李之藻, in 1603 and 1604 the third and fourth editions entitled Kunyu wanguo quantu 坤輿萬國全圖 were published, a copy of which is in the Vatican Archives and is reproduced here. Ricci introduced the system of longitude and latitude onto the traditional Chinese map grid. European maps by Mercator and Ortelius were the basis for Europe, Africa, and the New World, while the East Asian portion was based on a 1579 edition of the Guangyu tu 廣輿圖 by Luo Hongxian 羅洪先.
Ricci’s Mappamondo is the first representation of the New World (the America’s) on a Chinese map. Many Ming scholars immediately recognized these maps as important improvements on existing cartographic technology. Previously unknown regions were now charted in Chinese style and many of the foreign place-names used by Chinese today trace their origin to Ricci’s maps."

"How did Asia come to be represented on European World maps? When and how did Asian Countries adopt a continental system for understanding the world? How did countries with disparate mapping traditions come to share a basic understanding and vision of the globe? This series of essays organized into sections on Jesuit Circuits of Communication and Publication; Jesuit World Maps in Chinese; Reverberations of Matteo Ricci's Maps in East Asia; and Reflections on the Curation of Cartographic Knowledge, go a long way toward answering these questions about the shaping of our modern understandings of the world"-- Provided by publisher.

ABSTRACT: In 1986 the Kendall Whaling Museum (Sharon, Massachusetts) acquired a panel of a Chinese map as an example of the Chinese representation of the monstrous fish (whales) mentioned by Herman Melville in his assessment of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century depictions of whales. Only later was the panel identified as a rare seventeenth-century variation of Matteo Ricci's world map of 1602.
In this paper, the museum's map is compared with other manuscript and printed maps by Matteo Ricci. Discussion centers on the origins of the manuscript copies of Ricci's 1602 map and their inter-relationships. A census of woodblock prints of Ricci's maps (1602, 1603, post- 1644) and of the Chinese manuscript copies is included.
KEYWORDS: World maps; Matteo Ricci,printed and manuscript maps; Jesuits and maps; China, seventeenth century maps.
