Moreover, it meticulously modernizes all romanizations with standard \u003ci\u003eHanyu pinyin \u003c\/i\u003eand identifies, on the basis of archival research, most of Longobardo’s Chinese interlocutors, thus providing new insights into how the Jesuits networked with Chinese scholars in the late Ming. In this way, it opens up this seminal text to Sinologists and global historians exploring Europe’s first intellectual exchanges with China. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, the book presents four introductory essays, written by the editors and two prominent scholars on the Jesuit China mission. These essays comprehensively reconstruct the historical and intellectual context of Longobardo’s report, stressing that it cannot be viewed purely as a product of Sino-European cultural exchange, but also as an outgrowth of both exegetic debates within Europe and of European experiences across Asia, especially in Japan. Hence this critical edition will greatly contribute to a more globalized view of the Jesuit China mission. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2021-08-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789811604508\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-981-16-0451-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 375\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45385331310732,"sku":"9789811604508","price":179.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789811604508.jpg?v=1772938578","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789811604508","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
