Abstract

Na een slopende reis met een kaping, stormen en ziektes bereikt de Vlaamse jezuïet Ferdinand Verbiest in 1659 China. Nog geen jaar later wordt hij naar het hof van de keizer ontboden om daar te werken als astronoom. Hij raakt betrokken in tal van intriges en conflicten, maar wint ook het vertrouwen van de keizer. Chinezen beschuldigen hem ervan dat hij aloude Chinese tradities overboord zet. Confraters van Verbiest verwijten hem mee te werken aan bijgelovige praktijken. Andere ordes vinden dat de jezuïeten de katholieke leer en rituelen te veel aanpassen aan de Chinese gebruiken en klagen in Rome. Verbiest moet schipperen tussen de belangen van de Portugezen en de Fransen en moet Hollanders en Russen beletten voet aan grond te krijgen in China. Doorheen al deze vijandelijkheden en twisten houdt hij zijn missie voor ogen. Zal hij uiteindelijk zijn grote droom, de bekering van de keizer, kunnen waarmaken?

Abstract

The rulers of the overseas empires summoned the Society of Jesus to evangelize their new subjects in the 'New World' which Spain and Portugal shared; this book is about how two different missions, in China and Peru, evolved in the early modern world. From a European perspective, this book is about the way Christianity expanded in the early modern period, craving universalism. In China, Matteo Ricci was so impressed by the influence that the scholar-officials were able to exert on the Ming Emperor himself that he likened them to the philosopher-kings of Plato's Republic. The Jesuits in China were in the hands of the scholar-officials, with the Emperor at the apex, who had the power to decide whether they could stay or not. Meanwhile, in Peru, the Society of Jesus was required to impose Tridentine Catholicism by Philip II, independently of Rome, a task that entailed compliance with the colonial authorities' demands. This book explores how leading Jesuits, Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) in China and Jose de Acosta (1540-1600) in Peru, envisioned mission projects and reflected them on the catechisms they both composed, with a remarkable power of endurance.It offers a reflection on how the Jesuits conceived and assessed these mission spaces, in which their keen political acumen and a certain taste for power unfolded, playing key roles in envisioning new doctrinal directions and reflecting them in their doctrinal texts

Abstract

Giulia Falato's work on Alfonso Vagnone S.J.' s (1568-1640) Tongyou jiaoyu (On the Education of Children) offers a systematic study of the earliest treatise on European pedagogy and its first annotated translation in English. In particular, it highlights the role of Tongyou jiaoyu as a cultural bridge between the Chinese and Western traditions. Drawing from archival materials and multi-language literature, Falato produces an insightful account of the Jesuit's background, the pedagogical debate in late-Ming China, and the making and main sources of the treatise. Through the diachronic analysis of a selection of philosophical terms, this work also provides a fresh perspective on the Jesuits' lexical innovations and contribution to the formation of the modern Chinese lexicon.

Abstract

La mission jésuite du Japon s'inscrit dans le mouvement d'expansion portugaise en Asie, engagé dès la fin du XVe siècle. Arrivée en 1549 dans l'archipel nippon, la Compagnie de Jésus parvient à convertir un nombre important de Japonais avant que l'émergence d'un pouvoir central fort ne conduise à l'interdiction durable du christianisme en 1614. En l'absence d'un pouvoir colonial, les jésuites élaborent une stratégie fondée sur l'observation de la société et de la culture japonaise pour mieux "naturaliser" leur ordre et adapter le christianisme aux usages de la population locale. Si cette politique d'accommodation permet d'incorporer des éléments culturels locaux au sein du christianisme, les jésuites n'ambitionnent pas moins pour la nouvelle chrétienté japonaise qu'elle trouve sa place au sein d'un catholicisme en plein renouvellement depuis le concile de Trente. Phénomènes de métissage, appropriation ou résistance des traditions locales au christianisme : la mission jésuite du Japon illustre pleinement les problématiques de la première mondialisation. En replaçant le phénomène missionnaire dans un cadre global, cet ouvrage restitue les multiples facettes de l'action de la Compagnie de Jésus au Japon et nuance l'image traditionnelle d'une mission héroïque. Il explore les connexions établies par les jésuites entre le Japon et l'Europe et met en regard les stratégies d'évangélisation avec celles des autres entreprises missionnaires en Asie et en Amérique.

Abstract

Together with Verbiest’s printed works, this correspondence is the most direct witness of his rich life and activities (1623-1688). It covers the 43 years between his first application for the Indies (1645) and his farewell to the Kangxi Emperor (28.01.1688). This edition of 134 letters from and to Verbiest replaces that of Henri Bosmans (ed. by H. Josson and L. Willaert), publ. in Brussels in 1938. It is a critical revision of the formerly known 80 items, with a restitution of the original Chinese transcriptions (due to A. Dudink), all extended with 54 new items, mostly from the Ajuda archives (Lisbon), the latter putting especially the Chinese scene in the focus. Two major documents are added (dated 1661 and 1681), which reflect his talents as a polemic writer; also in various other letters he unfolds scriptorial talents, combined to a sharp sense of observation. All this makes this pluri-linguistic corpus (mainly in Latin and Portuguese) to a first hand testimony of the Jesuit mission in China during the restoration from its crisis (1665-1669) to its apogee, of which many dramatic moments and aspects are revealed by the author, who was the main agent in this process.
