Abstract

"After having described the acquisition process of the Western books in the China mission (vol. 1) and their disposition in the libraries of the Jesuit colleges and residences spread over China (vol. 2), in this last volume we arrive on the level of the individual books and their manifold, various contents. Through a classification of the titles of both the extant books and those only indirectly known through achival sources in 24 classes, we try to get a grasp on the very differentiated reading and interests of the Jesuit in China, which cover the entire range from Bible and exegesis through science and history to linguistics and 'Belles Lettres'; from incunabula to late-18th century productions, reflecting consecutive phases of contemporary European culture such as Late Humanism, the 'New Science', Cartesianism, Newtonism and Enlightenment. We try to understand the circulation and the use of these books in China, in direct relation to the (not always aligned) opinions of the individual Jesuits, their activities in China and their engagement in the ongoing polemics in Europe on the position and methods of the mission itself. The real cornerstone of this entire library-project is the transmission of these contents to the Chinese 'literati', by analyzing the evidence of the Jesuits' reading and working with these books in view of their teaching and writing, and the reception of all this by the Chinese, in which this entire project, started ca. 1610, reached its final aims."

Abstract

A thorough analysis of the sinuous ‘peregrinatio academica’ of Johann Terrentius Schreck (1576-1630) between 1600-1618 through (South-, Central- and NW-) European universities, academies and courts (at Freiburg /Br.; Paris; Rome; Basel; Padua; Strasbourg, Prague, Kassel, etc.) and his rich correspondence displays a widespread network of contacts, covering a broad range of domains, from medicine to alchemy, pharmacy, botany, and through engineering to (pure and applied) mathematics, and calendar making. In all these domains of the contemporary ‘Republic of Letters’, this former student of François Viète (Paris), Galileo (Padua) and ex-Lincean, adept of Copernicus and Paracelsus showed himself to be a passionate scholar with multi-faceted and versatile talents. After 1611, with this very rich experience he entered the Society of Jesus, and shortly afterward he was appointed as companion of Nicolas Trigault, who was touring throughEurope (1615-1618) as procurator on behalf of the fledgling Jesuit Mission in China, seeking funds, men, books and scientific instruments. This second phase of intensive travelling through European centers of scholarship, patronage, and printing (including Rome; Venice; Basel; Frankfurt; Cologne, Antwerp, etc.) resulted in an enormous collection of books and instruments, which were dispatched to Lisbon from various points in 1617/1618. Shipped to China, these materials arrived in Macau in 1619, and in Peking in 1625, becoming the core of the Jesuit libraries, mainly in Peking, and the basis for the scholarly activities of the Jesuits over the following decades in the domains of mathematics, calendar making, medicine, etc.
