012484Révérend Père Augustin Colombel (1833-1905), missionnaire jésuite en Chine, père de l'astronomie moderne en Chine à qui on doit la construction de l'observatoire de Shanghai. L.A.S., Nankin, 1er avril 1888, 3p in-8. A sa soeur Marie-Thérèse Colombel (1839-1912), baronne Richerand : « Ma bien chère sour, Alleluia ! C'est le jour de Pâques que je t'écris. Nos pauvres chrétiens sont venus en grand nombre. Les païens encore plus pour voir. Que le Bon Dieu leur ouvre donc les yeux du coeur ! Oui, je reçois tes annales catholiques, très fidèlement. Je t'en remercie mille fois, elles font grand plaisir à moi et à tous les pères qui sont autour de moi. Puis quand nous les avons bien lues, elles sont reliées en volume et gardées dans notre bibliothèque. De ce que tu m'envoies aujourd'hui : 1° La revue du monde catholique, très bien. Je l'ai lue en entier, les pères mes voisins la lisent, envoie nous la pendant quelques mois. Les journaux quotidiens sont trop détaillés pour nous, nous ne pouvons les lire, mais les revues mensuelles ou bimensuelles sont notre affaire. Nos pères de Paris en publient une maintenant, envoyez-nous la. Je la désire beaucoup. 2° Les mystères de la franc-maçonnerie dont tu m'envoies les 2 dernières livraisons font plaisir aux pères qui m'entourent, si tu m'envoies la suite, tu me feras plaisir. 3° Les contes chinois ne sont pas forts. C'est mal traduit et mal choisi. On aurait pu trouver bien mieux. Adieu ma chère Marie. Priez beaucoup pour notre pauvre Chine. Je vous embrasse tous. Ton frère Augustin. » Joli témoignage autour des missions. Cette lettre a été publié avec quelques autres sur le blog du Bibliomane Moderne le 14 octobre 2021. Elles apportent un éclairage particulièrement intéressant sur le développement des missions jésuites en Chine et à Shanghai en particulier. [242]

Printed colour map on a single newspaper leaf 53 x 40.7 cm; 59.8 x 45 cm sheet inset text box marginal browning and at the folds but remarkably bright in very good condition. WWII map of China showing most of China Indo-China Thailand and Korea with territory captured and controlled by Japan shaded in orange and red published by the Chicago Daily Tribune barely six weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. The text on the map reads "Since 1937 China has been at war with Japan. Lacking many essentials of war the Chinese nevertheless have managed to maintain a front against the aggressors. China's principal life line is the Burma road shown on the map which starts at Lashio Burma and extends to Kunming Yunnan province where it links with connections to Chunking the present Chinese capital". <br> <br>Based on a Rand McNally map the Tribune briskly got to work issuing maps for readers showing the beginnings of the war with Japan. Later maps were also published for sale separately but remarkably few have survived. <br>"… the historic Chicago Tribune was an innovator in color inks and printing but also a pioneer in bringing colorful art in the form of illustrations photographs cartoons and advertisements to the average person in an everyday medium." see The Janet A.

8vo, hardcover. This book analyzes the role of oral stories in Chinese witch-hunts. Successive chapters deal with the implications of Chinese versions of the Little Red Riding Hood story; the use of parts of the adult human body, children and foetuses, to draw out their life-force; attacks by mysterious creatures, causing open wounds, suffocation, the loss of hair and the like; the presence of a Drought Demon in the corpses of recently deceased women; and finally the emperor forcibly recruiting unmarried women for his harem. Of interest to historians and anthropologists working on oral traditions, folklore and witch-hunts (also from a comparative perspective), but also to those working on anti-Christian movements and the intersection of popular fears and political history in China. About the Author: Barend J. ter Haar, Doctorate (1990) in the Humanities, Leiden University, is Professor of Chinese History at Leiden. He published on Chinese temple cults, lay religious movements, violence, minorities, including The Ritual and Mythology of the Chinese Triads: Creating an Identity (Brill, 1998).
