Translation has a long history in China. Down the centuries
translators, interpreters, Buddhist monks, Jesuit priests,
Protestant missionaries, writers, historians, linguists, and even
ministers and emperors have all written about translation, and from
an amazing array of perspectives. This second volume of the seminal
two-volume anthology spans the 13th century CE to the very
beginning of the nineteenth century with an entry dated circa 1800.
It deals mainly with the transmission of Western learning to China
- a translation venture that changed the epistemological horizon
and even the mindset of Chinese people. Also included are texts
that address translation between Chinese and the languages of
China's Central Asian neighbours, such as Manchu, which was to
become of crucial importance in the Qing Dynasty. Comprising 28
passages, most of which are translated into English for the first
time here, the anthology is the first major source book of its kind
to appear in English. It features valuable primary material, and is
essential reading for postgraduate students and researchers working
in the areas of Translation, Translation Studies and Asian Studies.
