This book is the first scholarly study of the famous Jesuit Chinese
children's primer, the Four Character Classic, written by Giulio
Aleni (1582-1649) while living in Fujian, China. This book also
includes masterful translations of both Wang Yinglin's (1551-1602)
hallowed Confucian Three Character Classic and Aleni's Chinese
catechism that was published during the Qing (1644-1911). Clark's
careful reading of the Four Character Classic provides new insights
into an area of the Jesuit mission in early modern China that has
so far been given little attention, the education of children. This
book underscores how Aleni's published work functions as a good
example of the Jesuit use of normative Chinese print culture to
serve the catechetical exigencies of the Catholic mission in East
Asia, particularly his meticulous imitation of Confucian children's
primers to promote decidedly Christian content.
