Description

This book is an accessible collection of primary sources on the life of the Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci and the Catholic mission that he helped establish in China. Ricci's missionary career indeed constituted a key moment in modern history, for it was through his examples and recommendations that the Jesuits in China collectively adopted an accommodative approach to Chinese culture and embarked on various projects of cultural translation that resulted in the first wave of sustained interactions between Chinese and European civilizations.

Matteo Ricci and the Catholic Mission to China, 1583–1610 by Ronnie Po-Chia Hsia delves into this transformative period, highlighting Ricci’s crucial role in fostering cross-cultural engagement and understanding.
