The Jesuits in China and the Legation of Cardinal De Tournon is a historical book written by Robert Charles Jenkins in 1894. The book explores the relationship between the Jesuits, a Catholic religious order, and the Chinese people during the 17th and 18th centuries. The author focuses on the role of the Jesuits in spreading Christianity in China and their efforts to bridge the cultural divide between China and the West. The book also delves into the controversial legation of Cardinal De Tournon, a French bishop who was sent to China in 1705 to resolve a dispute between the Jesuits and the Chinese government. The legation ended in failure, with De Tournon being imprisoned and dying in China. Jenkins provides a detailed account of the events leading up to the legation and the aftermath, shedding light on the complex political and religious tensions that existed between China and the West at the time. Overall, The Jesuits in China and the Legation of Cardinal De Tournon is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in China and the cultural exchange between China and the West.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
