An Old China Hand Who Loved the Chinese People
Herbert Chatley (1885‐1955) was one of the scholars on whose research and expertise Joseph Needham drew when writing Science and Civilisation in China. Chatley worked in China for three decades, first as a teacher in Tangshan 唐山, where he trained a number of Chinese engineers and scientists, then as an engineer in charge of the dredging of the Huangpu 黃浦 river in Shanghai. His scholarship spanned a wide spectrum of fields, and therefore belonged …

Human Mobility and the Spatial Dynamics of Knowledge
The project “Individual Itineraries and the Circulation of Scientific and Technical Knowledge in China (16th–20th Centuries)” has shed light on the impact of individuals’ geographic mobility on the spatial dynamics of knowledge in late imperial China, where the bureaucratic system dictated a specific pattern of mobility for the elites. The question was also studied for other socioprofessional groups—craftsmen and medical doctors—and for the actor…
Les traductions de traités scientifiques européens en Chine au xviie siècle
Au xviie siècle, dans le cadre de leur entreprise d’évangélisation, des missionnaires jésuites introduisent en Chine certains savoirs scientifiques européens. Dans les dernières décennies de la dynastie Ming (1368-1644), des ouvrages présentant ces savoirs sont publiés, dont certains sont des traductions. Après l’avènement de la dynastie mandchoue des Qing (1644-1911), de nouvelles traductions sont effectuées, sous patronage impérial. Le mandchou…
Science and Empires
Kangxi, les mathématiques et l'empire
The Jesuits and innovation in imperial science
This chapter focuses on Jean-François Foucquet, the French Jesuit in charge of drafting the new astronomical treatise, and analyzes the conflicts that arose among his confreres following his proposal to revise the astronomical constants in use at the Astronomical Bureau. These conflicts prompted Prince Yinzhi and the staff of the Office of Mathematics to further assert their autonomy vis-à-vis the Jesuits.
Teaching ‘French science’ at the court
In 1690, just a few months after returning from his Southern inspection tour, the Kangxi Emperor set up regular sessions for the study of Western science, with four Jesuits as his tutors: Pereira, Thomas, Gerbillon, and Bouvet. These sessions were modeled on the Daily Tutoring on the classics that Kangxi had started twenty years earlier, especially as regarded their ultimate outcome: in both cases the lecture notes drafted by tutors were revised …
Calculation for the emperor
This chapter discusses a series of lecture notes, most of which can be ascribed to Antoine Thomas, on calculation, algebra, and other topics. Thomas, who had published a mathematical textbook in Europe, seems to have been by far the most prolific Jesuit mathematician at court. As was the case with classical learning, the lecture notes produced by the emperor's tutors were treated as imperial writings.
The Emperor's New MathematicsWestern Learning and Imperial Authority During the Kangxi Reign (1662-1722)
This book explores how the mathematics the Jesuits brought to China was reconstructed as a branch of imperial learning so that the emperor Kangxi (r. 1662–1722) could consolidate his power over the most populous empire in the world. Kangxi forced a return to the use of what became known as 'Western' methods in official astronomy. In his middle life he studied astronomy, musical theory, and mathematics in person, with Jesuits as his teachers. In h…
Experts en Sciences Mathématiques et Projets Impériaux Sous le Règne de Kangxi
En 1713, l'empereur Kangxi ordonne la compilation d'un traité de mathématiques, d'astronomie et d'harmonie musicale. Pour ce projet, il recrute des lettrés par un examen extraordinaire et surveille étroitement leur travail. Seuls deux d'entre eux feront ensuite une carrière de hauts fonctionnaires. Au milieu du XVIIIe siècle, un enseignement de mathématiques est instauré à l'Université impériale. La dynastie Qing a ainsi intégré à la formation de…

The Reconstruction of Imperial Mathematics in China During the Kangxi Reign (1662-1722)
Contrary to astronomy, the early modern Chinese State did not systematically sponsor mathematics. However, early in his reign, the Kangxi Emperor studied this subject with the Jesuit missionaries in charge of the calendar. His first teacher, Ferdinand Verbiest (1623-1688) relied on textbooks based on Christoph Clavius' (1538-1612). Those who succeeded Verbiest as imperial tutors in the 1690s produced lecture notes in Manchu and Chinese. Newly dis…

From the Elements to Calendar Reform
Statecraft and intellectual renewal in late Ming China
Xu Guangqi was one of the first promoters of Western science in China, worked together with the Jesuit Matteo Ricci on translations of Western science, was one of the first Chinese converts, a high-ranking statesman, organizer of a major calendar reform, introduced Western weapons into the Chinese army, etc. etc. The current volume is a composite profile of this complex figure that is solidly anchored in Chinese (and Western) primary sources.

European Science in China” or “Western Learning”? Representations of Cross-Cultural Transmission, 1600–1800
The Argument The circulation of science across cultural boundaries involves the construction of various representations by the various actors, who each account for their involvement in the process. The historiography of the transmission of European science to China in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries has long been dominated by one particular narrative: that of the Jesuit missionaries who were the main go-betweens for these two centuries. …
