The Jesuit Archives in Rome (Archium Romanum Societatus Iesu)
contains books and manuscripts from the Ming (1369-1644) 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. There are also volumes that
treat other religious groups such as the Muslims and the Jews. The
archive has a collection of some of the first Chinese-Western
dictionaries. Some of the works include marginal annotations by the
emperors of China, famous Chinese scholars, and Jesuit missionaries
and much, much more. This catalogue consists of careful
descriptions of all 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.
