In-8°, 16 cc, pp. 327, più errata, c. di tav. ripiegata (Situs provinciarum imperii Sinici), occhietto, vignetta calcografica sul frontespizio, illustrazioni calcografiche. Rilegatura in pergamena con nervi e titolo al dorso. ROUGEMONT (Franciscus de), b. a Maastricht il 2 aprile 1624, d. a Chang-chu (Cina) il 4 novembre 1676. Nelle scuole dei gesuiti a Bruxelles e Anversa fece i suoi studi inferiori con risultati brillanti e nel1641entrò nella Compagnia di Gesù. All'assedio di Kortrijk nel 1646 si distinse, sebbene non fosse ancora un sacerdote, per il suo zelo nella cura dei soldati feriti. Nel 1654 ricevette la consacrazione del sacerdote e, quando padre Martino Martini, procuratore della missione cinese in Europa, venne a cercare missionari per questo lavoro, riuscì a convincere i suoi genitori a richiedere quella missione a favore del figlio dal Generale dell'Ordine. L'anno seguente partì da Amsterdam per Lisbona con il gesuita di Amsterdam Ignazio Hartoghvelt. Dopo un ritardo a Coimbra, lasciarono Lisbona il 30 marzo 1656 e arrivarono il 6 novembre a Coa. A piedi, continuò il suo viaggio lungo la costa di Malabar, Visschersen Transvancore, e poi attraversò il Siam, dove il suo compagno Hartoghvelt morì a Yoethia nel 1658. Nello stesso anno, de Rougemont raggiunse Macao, e nel 1659, raggiunse la corte imperiale, in Cina. I cristiani da lui formati sono stati riconosciuti per il loro zelo e conoscenza della religione. In seguito a una violenta persecuzione dei cristiani durante la minore età dell'imperatore Kang-hi i missionari furono portati prigionieri a Pechino, poi esiliati nel Canton e imprigionati nella chiesa per 6 anni. R. capì che questa persecuzione aveva la sua ragione principale nella nazionalità straniera dei missionari. Per togliere quest'arma dalle mani degli avversari, pensò di addestrare un clero nativo e pensò che consentire una liturgia della chiesa in lingua cinese avrebbe promosso questo piano. Nel 1667 inviò un dettagliato memorandum al generale dell'ordine Oliva (stampato in Analecta Bollandiana XXXIII (1914), 279-93). Solo nel 1671, quando l'imperatore Kang-hi fu convinto dell'innocenza dei missionari, questi tornarono alle loro congregazioni cristiane. Il Rougemont ha continuò il lavoro interrotto per altri 5 anni. Durante un viaggio verso l'isola di Tsong-ming, si ammalò a Tsang-chu e morì tra le braccia di Padre Couplet. I suoi fedeli cristiani vennero per raccogliere il corpo del loro padre spirituale e dopo due giorni di cammino lo seppellirono solennemente sul Monte Voxan fuori dalla città di Changsho. Egli aveva usato il tempo della sua disoccupazione forzata per compilare la sua Historia Tartaro-Sinica nova (Lovanii 1673), in cui racconta ampiamente la persecuzione subita. Il Rougemont ha dato un ottimo contributo alla conoscenza della letteratura cinese. Con i padri Intorcetta, Herdrich e Couplet, intraprese l'importante lavoro: Confucius Sinarum philosophus, messo in stampa nel 1687 per ordine di Luigi XIV a Parigi. In-8 °, 16 cc, pp. 327, plus errata, folded table (Situs provinciarum imperii Sinici), half-title, woodcut on the title page. ROUGEMONT (Franciscus de), b. in Maastricht on April 2, 1624, d. in Changchu (China) on November 4, 1676. In Jesuit schools in Brussels and Antwerp he made his lower studies with brilliant results and in 1641 he entered the Society of Jesus. At the siege of Kortrijk in 1646 he distinguished himself, even if he was not yet a priest, for his zeal in caring for wounded soldiers. In 1654 he received the priest's consecration and, when Father Martino Martini, procurator of the Chinese mission in Europe, came to look for missionaries for this job, he managed to convince his parents to carry out that mission in favor of his son by the General of the Order. The following year he left Amsterdam for Lisbon with the Jesuit of Amsterdam Ignazio Hartoghvelt. After a delay in Coimbra, they left Lisbon on 30 March 1656 and arrived on 6 November in Coa. On foot, he continued his journey along the coast of Malabar, Visschersen Transvancore, and then he crossed Siam, where his companion Hartoghvelt died in Yoethia in 1658. In the same year, Rougemont reached Macau, and in 1659, he reached the imperial court , in China. The Christians he trained were listed for their zeal and knowledge of religion. Following a violent persecution of Christians during the minor age of Emperor Kang-hi, the missionaries were taken prisoner to Beijing, then exiled to the Canton and imprisoned in the church for 6 years. R. understood that this persecution had its main reason in the foreign nationality of the missionaries. To remove this weapon from the hands of opponents, he thought of training a native clergy and thought that allowing a Chinese-language church liturgy would promote this plan. In 1667 he sent a detailed memorandum to the general of the order Oliva (printed in Analecta Bollandiana XXXIII (1914), 279-93). Only in 1671, when Emperor Kang-hi was convinced of the innocence of the missionaries, did they return to their Christian congregations. Rougemont continued the interrupted work for another 5 years. During a trip to Tsong-ming Island, a Tsang-chu fell ill and died in the arms of Father Couplet. His faithful Christians came to collect the body of their spiritual father and after two days of walking they saw him solemnly on Mount Voxan outside the city of Changsho. He had used the time of his forced unemployment to compile his Historia Tartaro-Sinica nova (Lovanii 1673), in which he widely recounts the persecution he endured. Rougemont made an excellent contribution to the knowledge of Chinese literature. With his fathers Intorcetta, Herdrich and Couplet, he undertook the important work: Confucius Sinarum philosophus, printed in 1687 by order of Louis XIV in Paris.
