1710J072O. O., Dr., J. (um 1710). Verbot der chinesischen Riten - Erste und einzige Ausgabe der Schrift über die Kontroverse Chinesischer Riten und religiösen Gebräuche, der "Causae Sinensis" bzw. den "Chinesischen Ritenstreit", der zwischen 1610 und 1744 die christliche Mission in China und Indien bestimmte. Meist waren es Jesuiten gewesen, die missionierten und 1610 die Akkomodation durchsetzten, nach der die zum Christentum bekehrten Chinesen die Riten und Zeremonien ihrer traditionellen Religionen beibehalten durften (Ahnenverehrung etc.). Im Jahre der Entstehung des vorliegenden Breve gab es - vor allem aufgrund der Akkomodation - etwa eine Drittel Million bekennender Christen in China. Papst Clemens XI. (1649-1721) hatte auf Drängen des Missionars im Jahre 1704 ein Edikt zum Verbot der Ausübung chinesischer Riten in den missionierten Ländern erlassen. Etwas knapp beschnitten, sonst kaum Gebrauchsspuren, sehr schönes, wohlerhaltenes und sauberes Exemplar. Titel mit hs. Besitzvermerk des einstigen Jesuitenkloster in Olmütz: "Loci Capucinorum Olomuicij". - Außergewöhnlich selten.Nicht bei Cordier.

Intricate and wonderfully composed engraving after a drawing by the artist William Alexander 1767-1816 prepared for the folio atlas to George Staunton's account of the Macartney Embassy to China of 1793. The engraver James Fittler 1758-1825 was appointed by George III to be his Marine Engraver. Despite the serried ranks of the Chinese noblemen attendants and the figure of the Emperor himself occupying almost the entire engraving it is the figure of Lord Macartney making an entrance stage right who steals the show. Fittler has amplified Macartney as "hero" with the dramatic use of tone: Lord Macartney is bathed in light a representative of the British Empire "on which the sun never sets". The page attending Macartney is the figure of George Staunton's son Thomas. <br>A dramatic evocation of the might of Empire. <br> <br>From the Estate of the late collector and scholar Arthur Hacker. .
