The Jesuits in China and the Legation of Cardinal de Tournon is a historical account written by Robert Charles Jenkins in 1894. The book focuses on the Jesuit missionaries who traveled to China in the early 17th century and their interactions with the Chinese people and government. It also discusses the arrival of Cardinal de Tournon, a French priest sent by the Pope to China in 1705, and the controversy surrounding his mission. Jenkins provides a detailed analysis of the political and religious tensions between the Jesuits and the Chinese authorities, as well as the conflicts between the Jesuits and other European powers. The book draws on primary sources such as letters, documents, and eyewitness accounts to provide a comprehensive overview of this significant period in Chinese and European history. Overall, The Jesuits in China and the Legation of Cardinal de Tournon offers a fascinating insight into the complex and often tumultuous relationship between China and the West during the early modern period.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.
