Abstract

"The Jesuit mission in Japan began in 1549. A century later, Christianity had been formally eradicated through a series of state persecutions and prohibitions that had effect into modern times. One of the most important witnesses of the so-called “Christian century” in Japan was the Portuguese Jesuit, João Rodrigues “Tsûzu” (c.1561-1633), known by his Japanese moniker, “the Interpreter”. Among his extant writings is an incomplete work about Japan. Of this projected multi-volume História da Igreja do Japão, only the first three books in two parts have come down to the present day. This edition presents book three of the second part, published here for the first time in the Portuguese language and titled, Segunda parte da História Eclesiástica de Japão. The Rodrigues manuscript was written from exile in Macao. It provides an important account of the early history of Christianity in Asia and the first Jesuit efforts to Christianize Japan in the mid-sixteenth century under the leadership of Francis Xavier. It is reproduced in this volume with a number of pertinent letters and papers by Rodrigues. An extensive Introduction and critical apparatus in the Spanish language accompany the Portuguese-language texts. The edition, further, contains a helpful English-language Preface, while each of the twenty-eight chapters of Rodrigues’ text – together with his papers – contain comprehensive summaries in English" -- Information provided by publisher.

Abstract

En 1627, le pape Urbain VIII procède à la béatification de vingt-six martyrs crucifiés, trente ans plus tôt, à Nagasaki au Japon. Ce fut un évènement exceptionnel, tant par la rapidité de la procédure que parce qu’ils sont les premiers bienheureux issus des nouvelles terres de mission. En permettant aux franciscains et aux jésuites de les célébrer, l’Église reconnaissait non seulement leur sacrifice, mais aussi une certaine image du Japon en tant que terre de martyrs. Ce livre restitue le processus qui conduit à la formation, puis à la diffusion des récits martyrologiques de la mission japonaise.Il propose une lecture à « parts égales », fondée sur l’analyse rigoureuse des sources japonaises et occidentales. Il éclaire les enjeux de l’utilisation du terme de « martyr », en englobant ces récits dans une analyse à la fois historique et historiographique, montrant pourquoi et comment les ordres missionnaires, ainsi que l’Église, en sont venus à mettre en avant les martyrs du Japon, ainsi que les implications idéologiques et la vision du monde qui en découlent. Par la suite, ces discours, amplifiés, vont se répandre dans toute l’Europe catholique ; ces « reflets », que ce soit dans l’iconographie, la littérature, ou même le théâtre, donneront naissance à un Japon imaginaire, terre de héros martyrs, de tyrans, de bourreaux et de princes convertis, qui hante l’époque moderne.

Abstract

Following the pioneering work of Francis Xavier in establishing Christianity in Japan, his successor Alessandro Valignano, decided to send a legation to Europe representing the three Christian daimyo of Kyushu, southern Japan. It consisted of two Christian samurai boys who were chosen as legates, together with two teenage companions. The group set sail from Nagasaki in February 1582 and were to be away for eight years. The purpose of the mission was twofold: it would give Europeans the chance of seeing Japanese people at first hand and appreciating their culture, thereby publicising the work of the Catholic Church in Japan and so (it was hoped) increase much-needed financial support; and secondly on their return to Japan the envoys would give eyewitness reports of the splendours of Renaissance Europe, thus moderating Japanese notions about the outside world and foreign barbarians. The boys travelled through Portugal, Spain and Italy and were feted wherever they went. In Venice, the authorities even postponed the annual festival in honour of St Mark, the city's patron, so that the Japanese might view the spectacle. More importantly, the boys met Philip II of Spain several times, as well as Pope Gregory XIII and his successor Sixtus V. This is the first book-length study in English of the mission and provides important new insights into the work of the Jesuits in Japan and the nature of the legation's impact on late-sixteenth-century European perceptions of Japan.

Abstract

In 1582 Alessandro Valignano, the Visitor to the Jesuit mission in the East Indies, sent four Japanese boys to Europe. Until the arrival of the embassy in Europe, the Euro-Japanese encounter had been almost exclusively one way: Europeans going to Japan. This book is an account of their travels, their long journeys out and back, and the 20 months in Europe being received by popes and kings. It was published in Macao in 1590 with the title De Missione Legatorvm Iaponensium ad Romanum curiam. The present edition is the first complete version of this rich, complex and impressive work to appear
