Summary
"This book sheds new light on the cultural encounter between China and Europe, by discussing how Chinese religion and philosophy were represented in Dutch printed works between 1595-1700. By focusing on books, newspapers, learned journals, and pamphlets, Trude Dijkstra sheds new light on the cultural encounter between China and western Europe in the early modern period. Form, content, and material-technical aspects of different media in Dutch and French are analysed, providing novel insights into the ways in which readers could take note of Chinese religion and philosophy. This study thereby demonstrates that there was no singular image of China and its religion and philosophy, but rather a varied array of notions on the subject"--Provided by publisher.
