内容提要(英文讲演)
Between 1552 (death of Francis Xavier) and 1800, nearly 1,000 Jesuits contributed to the Chinese mission, and many undertook detailed mapping of China. These Jesuits both recorded China via “western style” maps to pass knowledge to Europe, and showed Chinese Emperors and high officials maps of the world which they had never seen before.
Original maps created or inspired by Jesuits will be displayed during and after the talk.
