Abstract

Abstract

This essay is a summary of my scholarship on the Jesuit world of translated literature in the Ming and Qing dynasties, including a brief discussion of the accomplishments of my predecessors and successors, such as Chen Yuan and Timothy Billings. As I describe, I began my studies in this field with my doctoral thesis, which dealt with Jesuit employment of classical exemplum in the Ming Dynasty. This early exercise culminated in my first book, in Chinese with the English title, European Literature in Late-Ming China:Jesuit Exemplum, Its Source and Its Interpretation. My next book, also written in Chinese, was Transwriting:Translated Literature and Late Ming Jesuits, in which I examined eight translated texts, including Visio Sancti Bernardi and Contemptus mundi. My third book on this topic, Jesuit Chreia in Late Ming China:Two Studies with an Annotated Translation of Alfonso Vagnone's "Illustrations of the Grand Dao," was in English and was co-authored with Thierry Meynard. This book's main contribution was our translation and annotation of Vagnone's Illustrations of the Grand Dao. My most recent book is a collection of studies on topics like Jesuit translation of the Vulgate Bible and Epictetus' Encheridion. Currently, I am in the middle of a monograph on the Chinese writings and French translations of Joseph de Prémare, which I endeavor to complete and publish in the near future.
