R.P. Prosperi Intorcetta societatis Jesu missionarii sinensis testimonium de cultu sinensi datum anno 1668.

1700ABC_47581Paris 1700. 8vo. Nicolas Pepié Contemporary vellum with the manuscript title on the spine blue sprinkled edges. With a small woodcut ornamental vignette on the title page and some head- and tail-pieces built up from typographical ornaments 2 318 10 pp. This particular account on Chinese cults known as the De cultu sinensis was authored in 1668 and published posthumously. It was written by Prosper Intorcetta 1625-1696 who embarked on a journey to China in 1656 alongside Father Martini and a group of fifteen other priests who were engaged in missionary work in the province of Jiangxi. Intorcetta who assumed the Chinese name of In-to-tsé and the nickname of Koi-ssé was imprisoned in Canton in 1664. After his initial release he managed to travel to Rome in 1671 to witness the fate of his fellow missionaries before being arrested again in 1690. Alongside his work on the translation and study of Confucius' classics for which he proposed a complete translation the present work played a crucial role in the establishment of the subject of sinology in Europe as it dates back to the early years of missionary presence in China. Furthermore it contributed to enhancing understanding of the Chinese language. The De cultu sinensis was a response to the concerns raised by Domenico Navarette a Spanish Dominican archbishop and missionary who served in Mexico the Philippines and later in China. Navarette strongly opposed certain Chinese rituals and Intorcetta's book addresses this contentious issue.With the large oval black owner's stamp of Cardinal Jean-Marie Gabriel on the title-page and page 5 a manuscript owner's inscription in brown ink "Bibliotheca J. Pudentiana" on the title page and with a small manuscript annotation "J. Pud." on the front board. With some offsetting from the manuscript owner's incription in the first free flyleaf and a small paper repair to the bottom margin of the title-page without affecting the text. Slightly browned throughout otherwise in very good condition.l Cordier Sinica 884; Sommervogel IV 642 no.6; WorldCat 18792180 12 copies. hardcover
