Description:
The Jesuit Archives in Rome (Archivum Romanum Societatus Iesu) contains books and manuscripts from the Ming (1368-1644) and Ching (1644-1911) dynasties on Chinese history, Chinese and Western philosophy, astronomy, and other sciences; volumes by Westerners introducing Christian thought to the Chinese; and works by Chinese Christians comparing what they were taught by the Jesuits with the Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian traditions. Many works deal with the famous Chinese rites controversy. Some of the works include marginal notations by the emperors of China, famous Chinese scholars, and Jesuit missionaries. This catalogue consists of careful descriptions of these archival items with bibliographical sources pertaining to them. English is the main language, but Latin, other European languages, and Chinese (with characters) are also abundant.
