Companions in Geography
Author: Mario Cams
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004345361
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
In Companions in Geography Mario Cams revisits the early 18th century mapping of Qing China, without doubt one of the largest cartographic endeavours of the early modern world. Commonly seen as a Jesuit initiative, the project appears here as the result of a convergence of interests among the French Academy of Sciences, the Jesuit order, and the Kangxi emperor (r. 1661-1722). These connections inspired the gradual integration of European and East Asian scientific practices and led to a period of intense land surveying, executed by large teams of Qing officials and European missionaries. The resulting maps and atlases, all widely circulated across Eurasia, remained the most authoritative cartographic representations of continental East Asia for over a century. This book is based on Dr. Mario Cams' dissertation, which has been awarded the "2017 DHST Prize for Young Scholars" from the International Union of the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, Division of History of Science and Technology (IUHPST/DHST).

Chinese Missionary Linguistics

ISBN: 9789082090994
Category : Chinese language
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
In the spring of 2011 (March, 7-8) the Department of Oriental Studies of Sapienza University of Rome and the Ferdinand Verbiest Institute jointly organized a workshop and a roundtable on ?China Mission and Linguistics?. The workshop took place in the suggestive location of the Academia Belgica in the very heart of Rome. The aims of this workshop were, on the one hand, to update the state of the art and, on the other hand, to give, young scholars the opportunity to present their research and discuss their results with senior scholars. The final roundtable not only highlighted how the linguistic research is carried out in different institutions and countries, but also showed the need for sharing the results of the research, and above all the need for spaces of discussion and debate.00This volume brings together a series of essays analysing important new data on the linguistic work carried out by Western missionaries in China following an ideal diachronic thread linking men (missionaries) from different countries and different Christian religious traditions (Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant). If, on the one hand, all of them shared a common ideal as well as a common purpose ? spreading Christianity among the Chinese ?, on the other hand, the strategies they put in practice were different.
