This is a special issue devoted to the topic of European Jesuits in China, and it is dedicated to Professor Mitja Saje and his academic and scientific research work. Professor Saje is one of the three co-founders of the Department of Asian Studies (formerly Asian and African Studies), which was established at the University of Ljubljana in 1995. Until his retirement ( July 2015), he was a constant presence in the Department and one of its guiding spirits over the last twenty years. Possessed of an enormous respect for Chinese culture, he contrib- uted significantly not only to the academic development of the Department, but also to promoting that culture in Slovenia as a whole. Professor Saje is specialised in traditional and modern Chinese history, politics and economy. His four vol- ume study of Chinese history is the most comprehensive and important work of its kind in the Slovenian language. It is, in fact, a pioneering work in Slovenian sinology, and provides both a chronological exposition of this complex subject from the earliest times to the founding of the People’s Republic of China, as well as thorough and penetrating analyses of the many socio-political factors which influenced the development of Chinese society. In addition to this major historical work, a significant part of Professor Saje’s ac- ademic activity was also dedicated to researching the Jesuit community in Beijing and, in particular, to the forgotten “Slovenian” Jesuit missionary, Ferdinand Au- 劉松齡 gustin Hallerstein (1703–1774) (Chinese name Liu Songling ). Haller- 乾隆 stein was an active member of the Qianlong (1711–1799) court and was appointed Head of the Imperial Board of Astronomy in 1747, a position he would maintain until his death nearly 30 years later. Professor Saje was one of the first Slovenian scholars to underscore the importance of Hallerstein’s life and work, and * Nataša VAMPELJ SUHADOLNIK, Associate Professor, Department of Asian Studies, Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.

He was the editor and main instigator for the first comprehensive monograph on Hallerstein in English, A. Hallerstein - Liu Songling: The Multi- cultural Legacy of Jesuit Wisdom and Piety at the Qing Dynasty Court, published in Maribor in 2009. This study provides the broader academic community with an innovative approach to the cultural links between China and Europe and offers new material regarding Hallerstein’s scientific, religious, diplomatic, and cultural activities and writings. The monograph is especially valuable because it includes the English translation of most of his letters (with only the purely scientific cor- respondence excluded), which were addressed to fellow Jesuits in Europe, family members and even the Queen of Portugal, Maria Anna (1683–1754). In recognition of Professor Mitja Saje’s achievements in this research area, the present issue is dedicated to the European Jesuit missionaries in China from the 17th and 18th centuries, and their major contributions to the cultural and sci- entific development of European and Chinese society. It brings together a select group of papers that analyse diverse aspects of the work of the Jesuits in China, especially the mathematicians, scientists, and cultural envoys from Central and Eastern Europe who succeeded in establishing early scientific and cultural links between the West and China. While most of these missionaries came from dif- ferent regions of the Habsburg Monarchy, their ethnic and geographical origins had little meaning for the Chinese. With the dissolution of Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I, some of the more prominent Jesuits were forgotten by the new countries which had been established on the ruins of the Empire. In our view, sinologists and historians in Central and East European countries have a duty to underscore the cultural and scientific importance of these early mis- sionaries and to reaffirm their historic role. The Chinese should likewise do more to recognise and link these figures with their countries of origin. Ultimately, the achievements of these missionaries belong both to their countries of origin and to China, where they lived and worked, and to which they dedicated much of their lives and knowledge. The volume opens with a section dedicated to the “Slovenian” Jesuit, Ferdinand Augustin Hallerstein, who due to various historical and political circumstances was forgotten for more than 200 years. The rediscovery of Hallerstein began with a number of cooperation projects between the Slovenian

One key concept is that of “meritocracy”, forged by American professor working in Tsinghua University Daniel A. Bell, to describe the ideas and the reality of how the Chinese political system has evolved over the past three decades. In his opinion, political meritocracy is referred to the idea that “political power should be distributed in accordance with ability and virtue.” This model differs from those election models on the basis of “one person, one vote,” used in the West. Different from the political perspective, I would like to talk about“China Model” from the comparative cultural studies today. The China Model from the perspective of Cross- Cultural Studies According to the Canadian cultural economists Harry Hillman Chartrand and Claire McCaughey, there are four models of cultural policy operative in the West after World War II. They are: ▲ the Facilitator Model ▲ the

The Lettres édifiantes et curieuses écrites des missions étrangères (Edifying and Curious Letters Written from Foreign Missions), a collection of these missionaries’ correspondences, revealed how the Jesuits described their impression of the city Beijing and the imperial court, their religious activities, and their scientific works. These descriptions played a role in shaping the Europeans’ view of China, contributing to the rise of “chinoiserie” in eighteenth-century Europe. French Jesuits dominated the West’s “Beijing experience” during the eighteenth century.

These sites were restored after the Cultural Revolution and commemorated on the 400th anniversary of Ricci’s arrival in China, in 1983. The memory of the Jesuit mission to China is now carefully preserved, for it was the Jesuits who were largely responsible for opening up China to Europe in the modern period. This early encounter between East and West endures in significance.1 A constant theme in such East-West encounters, over the centuries, is the endeavor of the western visitors “to change China,” in Jonathan Spence’s felicitous phrase. These efforts failed for the most part, for the Chinese proved to be exceedingly adept at turning the barbarians against themselves and protecting what they most valued in their culture and way of life.

  • Matteo Ricci's Legacy
    Matteo Ricci’s legacy: a loving patience Yves Camus SJ 400 years ago today, Jesuit priest Matteo Ricci died in Beijing. One of the pioneers of the Jesuit mission to China, he remains a greatly respected figure for the Church and for the Chinese people. As Thinking Faith marks his anniversary this month, Yves Camus SJ introduces us to the man who has been called ‘the most outstanding cultural mediator between China and the West of all time’.

    L'IDOMENEO Idomeneo (2020), n. 30, 173-208 ISSN 2038-0313 DOI 10.1285/i20380313v30p173 http://siba-ese.unisalento.it, © 2020 Università del Salento Justifying Collaboration between Chinese Literati and ‘Subjects from Afar’: The Paratexts of the Taixi shuifa 泰西水法 (Hydromethods of the Great West; 1612) Sabine Kink* Abstract. Prefaces and other paratexts can serve as platforms not only for advertising the work to which they are attached, but also for self-promotion and the articulation of ulterior aspirations of their authors. The Chinese language treatises on Western sciences and technology written during the Jesuit China mission from the late 16th century onwards were no exception in this regard. This essay takes the altogether five prefaces to the Taixi shuifa 泰西水法 (Hydromethods of the Great West; 1612) (hereafter TXSF), composed by the Italian Jesuit Sabatino de Ursis with the support of the Chinese official Xu Guangqi 徐光啟, as an example for typical rhetorical strategies implemented in such endeavours at that time. On the Chinese side, these strategies aimed at the introduction of the transmitted knowledge to a learned and in large part sinocentric audience in the Middle Kingdom, and at a justification of the collaboration with these foreign “vassals”. The comparison with de Ursis’ preface shows that the Jesuit’s intentions, however, went in a completely different direction. Riassunto. Le prefazioni e altri paratesti possono servire come piattaforme non solo per pubblicizzare l’opera a cui fanno riferimento, ma anche per l’autopromozione e l’articolazione di ulteriori aspirazioni da parte dei loro autori. I trattati in lingua cinese sulle scienze e la tecnologia occidentali, scritti durante la missione dei gesuiti in Cina dalla fine del XVI secolo in poi, non fecero eccezione a questo riguardo.
