项目摘要
This project was prompted by the sensational rediscovery in 2015 of the Chinese version of Georgius Agricola’s (1494-1555) De re metallica (1556). The Chinese rendering of this famous mining classic, initiated by the Ming official Li Tianjing (1579-1659) and carried out by the famous German Jesuit missionary Johann Adam Schall von Bell (1592-1666), was lost for more than 350 years. One of our aims is to translate this Chinese version, entitled Kunyu gezhi (Investigations of the Earth’s Interior; 1640), into English, with the inclusion of all relevant historical records. This will elucidate the Jesuits’ highly selective and complex approach to the translation, both with regard to passages in the Western reference texts as well as to new mineralogical ideas and concepts, and thus will provide unique insights into the scope and limitations of the transmission of European useful and reliable knowledge to the Middle Kingdom. Moreover, it is important to find out how this translation was received and perceived by Chinese readers and what the fate of this mining and metallurgy treatise was until its recent unexpected rediscovery. Furthermore, for comparative reasons we will investigate another important and largely neglected text, the Taixi shuifa (Hydromethods of the Great West; preface 1612), by addressing similar research questions to it. This technological manual, mainly composed by the Italian Jesuit missionary Sabatino de Ursis (1575-1620), contains a systematic discourse on both the theoretical and practical aspects of water and water management, including discussions about the medical benefits of hot spring treatments and distillation methods. Our comprehensive study of these two unique treatises dealing with two different technical and economic fields, but with overlapping especially in water management and natural philosophy, will take fully into account recent research on the history of knowledge transfers from West to East during the period of early globalization. Eventually, it will also compare these early seventeenth-century events with those of later periods, especially the Protestant missionaries’ efforts of the late nineteenth century. Our case studies will also pay due attention to historical contextualisation, i.e. the background of political, social, economic and cultural conditions and developments, and hence highlight convergences and divergences between China and Europe. The ultimate aim of the project will be to make a contribution to the debate about the origin of the "Great Divergence" between Europe and China during the Early Modern Period, and this by combining our micro-historical case studies with the approaches of a macro-historical comparative sociology. This endeavour, carried out under the auspices of the UNESCO Subcommittee on Research and Education, Memory of the World Programme, is of extraordinary importance not only for the history of West-East interactions and exchanges, but also for German cultural history.
2015年,Georgius Agricola(1494-1555)的《De re metallica》(1556)的中文版被重新发现,引起了轰动。这部著名的采矿经典的中文翻译由明朝官员李天敬(1579-1659)发起,由著名的德国耶稣会传教士约翰·亚当·沙尔·冯·贝尔(1592-1666)执行,已经丢失了350多年。我们的目标之一是将这本名为《坤舆格致》(1640年)的中文译本翻译成英文,包括所有相关的历史记录。这将阐明耶稣会士的高度选择性和复杂的翻译方法,无论是在西方参考文本的段落,以及新的矿物学思想和概念,从而将提供独特的见解的范围和限制欧洲有用和可靠的知识传输到中央王国。此外,重要的是要弄清楚中国读者是如何接受和理解这一译本的,以及这本采矿和冶金论文在最近意外地被重新发现之前的命运。此外,出于比较的原因,我们将研究另一个重要的,在很大程度上被忽视的文本,太西水法(大西部水文方法;序言1612),通过解决类似的研究问题,它。这本技术手册,主要由意大利耶稣会传教士萨巴蒂诺德乌尔西斯(1575-1620),包含了一个系统的论述,在理论和实践方面的水和水管理,包括讨论的医疗效益的温泉治疗和蒸馏方法。我们对这两篇独特的论文的全面研究涉及两个不同的技术和经济领域,但在水资源管理和自然哲学方面有重叠,将充分考虑到最近对早期全球化期间从西方到东方的知识转移历史的研究。最后,它也将比较这些早期的世纪的事件与后来的时期,特别是新教传教士的努力后期的世纪。我们的案例研究还将充分关注历史背景,即政治,社会,经济和文化条件和发展的背景,从而突出中国和欧洲之间的趋同和差异。该项目的最终目标是通过将我们的微观历史案例研究与宏观方法相结合,为有关近代早期欧洲和中国之间“大分歧”起源的争论做出贡献。历史比较社会学。在教科文组织世界记忆计划研究与教育小组委员会的支持下开展的这项工作,不仅对东西方互动和交流史,而且对德国文化史都具有极其重要的意义。
