Condition: guter bis sehr guter Zustand. guter bis sehr guter Zustand, geringe Gebrauchs- und Alterungsspuren: Schutzumschlag gering defekt - Papier teils etwas vergilbt, aber Seiten sauber und ordentlich - kleine Notiz im Vorsatz "Le présent livre - reprise plus de 350 ans après la première édition est le récit, admirablement conduit, d'une rencontre. Il a fallu plus d'un siècle à l'Europe pour aller de la pointe sud de l'Afrique et de l'Inde à Pékin. 60 ans pour arrimer le Macao portugais aux rivages chinois et 43 ans pour gagner de là le coeur secret de l'Empire du Milieu : la face cachée de VAN LI au centre de la "Cité interdite". Par ce simple rappel des durées, on perçoit que l'entrée en Chine a été bien autre chose qu'un voyage selon les rudes conditions de l'époque : une prise de contact difficile, le choc de réalités déroutantes, le mystère d'une nation immense et de son extrême culture. Le penseur et l'acteur principal de cette pénétration a été le jésuite Ricci soutenu par un petit groupe de confrères et d'amis. On a ici le compte-rendu originel, extrêmement précis, on dirait presque clinique, du trauma Europe-Chine en ses prémisses. Pour le pire. et le meilleur. Les qualités humaines des auteurs, Matthieu Ricci et Nicolas Trigault, à la fois rompus à la scientificité de l'époque et porteurs fervents et prudents de la grande utopie occidentale, le christianisme, l'étrangeté de leur entreprise, voilà qui confère à leurs écrits, à leur "décrire-pour-les-Européens" les choses de la Chine une sorte d'éminence. "Dieses Buch - mehr als 350 Jahre nach der Erstausgabe neu aufgelegt - ist der schön geführte Bericht einer Begegnung. Europa brauchte mehr als ein Jahrhundert, um von der Südspitze Afrikas und Indiens nach Peking zu gelangen. 60 Jahre brauchte Europa, um das portugiesische Macau an die Küsten Chinas anzudocken und 43 Jahre, um von dort aus das geheime Herz des Reichs der Mitte zu erreichen: das verborgene Gesicht von VAN LI im Zentrum der "Verbotenen Stadt". Durch diese einfache Erinnerung an die Zeiträume erkennen wir, dass der Eintritt in China viel mehr war als eine Reise nach den harten Bedingungen der Zeit: ein schwieriger Kontakt, der Schock verwirrender Realitäten, das Geheimnis einer immensen Nation und ihrer extremen Kultur. Der Hauptdenker und -akteur dieser Durchdringung war der Jesuit Ricci, unterstützt von einer kleinen Gruppe von Mitbrüdern und Freunden. Wir haben hier die originelle, äußerst präzise, fast klinisch anmutende Darstellung des Europa-China-Traumas in seinen Voraussetzungen. Zum Schlechten. und zum Guten. Die menschlichen Qualitäten der Autoren Matthieu Ricci und Nicolas Trigault, die beide in der Wissenschaftlichkeit der Zeit bewandert und zugleich glühende und besonnene Träger der großen abendländischen Utopie, des Christentums, waren, und die Fremdheit ihres Unterfangens verleihen ihren Schriften, ihrer "Beschreibung für Europäer" der Dinge in China eine Art Eminenz."

petit in-8, 12 ff.-994 pp., illustré d'une planche dépliante, reliure plein veau, dos à nerfs. Ouvrage traduit du latin en françois (édition originale latine publiée à Augsbourg en 1615). Edition des travaux du Père Ricci, arrivé en Chine en 1582, et qui fut le premier jésuite à occuper une place officielle à Pékin (1601). Le premier livre (204 pp.) est une description de la Chine, et le nom de Confucius apparait ici pour la première fois, de même, par exemple, que la pratique des examens pour l'accès aux fonctions mandarinales. Les quatre livres suivant relatent l'histoire de la pénétration des jésuites dans l'Empire du Milieu. De son côté, Trigault arriva en Chine en 1610, date de la mort de Ricci, et enrichit par ses observations les travaux de son prédesseur. La planche dépliante représente le "Plan du Palais des faux-bourgs donné à la Compagnie de Jésus à Péquin par le Roi de la Chine en l'an 1610". Restauration à la page de titre (sans atteinte à la lettre), quelques petits trous de ver marginaux en début d'ouvrage, une déchirure sans manque en pied de la planche, un feuillet déchiré et manquant (pp. 861-862) au livre V, restaurations anciennes à la reliure, titre au dos presque totalement effacé. Title-page professionnally repaired, some marginal worn holes, tear (no loss) to the folding plate, one leaf missing (pp. 861-862), restoration work done to spine ends, unreadable gilt title.

Small 4to. Pp. (xxiv), 423, 428-559, (5) table. Text complete. With title printed in red and black. Narrow margins. Rebound with old paper boards, new calf spine with five raised bands, decorated and lettered in gilt. Text partly browned due to the paper quality. Second French edition, translated by David Florice de Riquebourg-Trigault, nephew of Nicolas and physician to the count of Nassau. First published in Latin titled "De Christiana expeditione apud sinas suspecta ab Societate Jesu", Augsburg 1615. This important work on China is based on the journal kept by the Jesuit missionary Matteo Ricci during the time he served in the country (1582-1610). When Ricci arrived in 1582 in Macau, China was still closed to outsiders, but he learned the language, acquired knowledge about the country, and was able to go beyond cultural barriers which gave him entrance to the interior of country. He discovered that Chinese culture was strongly intertwined with Confucian values and therefore used existing Chinese concepts to explain Christianity. Ricci's manuscript was brought back to Europe by his successor Trigault, who translated it into Latin and also changed many passages of the journal and augmented it with information based on several Portuguese missionary reports.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. [A JESUIT ACCOUNT OF CHINA] FIRST EDITION (?). 8vo. pp. (viii) 221 (iii). Roman letter, occasional Italic. Jesuit device to t-p, decorated initials, typographical headpiece. Slight age browning, faint water stain to lower outer part, two little worm holes to first and last gathering, one touching a few letters. A good copy in modern vellum. An uncommon edition of Nicolas Trigault's two earliest, important letters from China, sent in 1610 and 1611 to Cardinal Claudio Acquaviva in Rome. Trigault (1577-1628) was a Flemish Jesuit who carried out ground-breaking missionary work in China. Inspired by the activities of Matteo Ricci, Trigault founded new missions and encouraged the translation of European works on science and religion (including liturgies) into Chinese. A portrait of Trigault in Chinese costume (now at the New York Metropolitan Museum) was painted by Peter Paul Rubens in 1617, when Trigault visited the Jesuit college in Antwerp to raise funds for his missions. The two letters in this edition were written shortly after his first arrival in Peking and contributed greatly, together with Ricci's texts, to bring in greater knowledge of China to Western Europeans. The 1610 missive is a beautifully-written and engaging factual and anecdotal survey, in the form of a travelogue, of the political, cultural and religious situation of China, including its government ('the King acknowledges no other God but himself') and religious cults, and a description of the principles of the Chinese language (with 'hieroglyphs' which only express 'sounds', not vowels or consonants). The second letter is a long account focusing on the Jesuits' 'adventures' during their missionary work, from their flight from a house fire to meetings with local governors, the administration of holy water to native converts resembling more an exorcism rather than a Christian ritual, and the great difficulties they faced in obtaining a burial place for Matteo Ricci in Peking. Another edition of these influential letters was printed in Rome by Bartolomeo Zannetti in the same year, but no priority has been established.

Auverman & Payne 223; Lach III p.372; Löwendahl 55; De Backer, Bibliothèque de la Compagnie de Jésus, v. 8/9, 238. Unknown to Chadenat. This book is one of the first detailed descriptions of China whose entire first part is dedicated to geography, political organization, education, trade, etc. The four other parts are dedicated, each, to the different cities. This first edition has been translated and revised after the Italian manuscript, and published by Nicolas Trigault. This major work was remarkably successful, arousing new editions and translations: it gave a decisive impulsion to the sinological studies. "The appearance of Trigault's book in 1615 took Europe by surprise. It reopened the door to China, which was first opened by Marco Polo, three centuries before (.), opened a new era of Chinese-European relations and gave us one of the greatest, if not the greatest, missionary document in the world (.). It probably had more effect on the literary and scientific, the philosophical and the religious phases of life in Europe than any other historical volume of the seventeenth century. It introduced Confucius to Europe and Euclid to China. It opened a new world." (Louis J. Gallagner. foreword to China in the Sixteenth Century: The Journal of Matthew Ricci, New-York, 1953). Trigault joined the Jesuit mission in China in 1610. Back in Europe in 1613, he published these two letters « della Cina del 1610 e del 1611 ». Written at the request of his superior, these two letters describe "the need to respect Chinese ways of dealing with foreigners, the contrast between the peace and order in China and the turbulence in Japan, and the desirability of making China into an independent province of the Society" (Lach). Nicolas Trigault was born in Douai in 1577 and dedicated himself, with the study of sciences and oriental languages, to a career as a missionary. He went to Lisbon in 1606 and while waiting for the departure of the ship that was supposed to get him to the Indies, he drew the portrait of the perfect missionary in the life of F. Gasp. Barzis, one of St. Francis Xavier. Having embarked on February 5th, 1607, he arrived on October 10th in Goa. The delicacy of his health, that the sea had weakened even more, forced him to stop in this city. He left only in 1610 for Macao, from where he finally entered to China. Each day the missionaries were making huge progress in this vast empire. The desire to extend more and more their conquests led them into the furthest provinces, where they had numerous proselytes: thus it became indispensable to increase the number of these evangelic workers. F. Trigault was chosen to come back to Europe and give an account of the situation and the needs of the missions in China. Arrived in India he judged suitable to pursue his travel by land and, with a leather bag enclosing his provisions, he crossed, not without risking great danger, Persia, deserted Arabia and part of Egypt. A merchant vessel carried his from Cairo to Otrente, from where he went to Rome. His superiors introduced him to Pope Paul V, who welcomed him with interest and accepted the dedication of the Histoire de l'établissement des missions chrétiennes à la Chine, which he had written after F. Ricci's memoirs. The deserved success that got this work, the first one in which we found exact notions about China, undoubtedly helped him to reach the purpose of his travel. He left Lisbon in 1618, with forty-four missionaries, who had all asked, as a favor, the permission to follow him. Several died during the crossing: he got sick in Goa, and his life was in danger for a long time; but he finally recovered, and having embarked on May 20th, 1620, after two months of a perilous navigation, he reached Macao, from where he entered to China, seven years after having left. In charge of the spiritual administration of these three large provinces, he dedicated himself without respite to the functions of his administration, and yet, was able to find the leisure to learn about the history and literature of the Chinese. Exhausted, he died there on November 14th, 1628, in Nanjing. Precious and extremely rare volume unknown to Chadenat in his bibliography dedicated to old travels (7210 books described).
