This paper provides a survey of versions of the Lord’s Prayer translated into several East Asian languages as they are attested in collections since the end of the 16th century. This is when the first relevant example appeared in print, namely a Literary Chinese version provided by a Jesuit missionary. The various versions are contextualized with a view on their creation and dissemination, often but not always involving Christian missionaries, and their textual interrelations are considered. The languages covered here are chiefly Literary Chinese (as well as other Sinitic languages later on), Japanese (and later Ryukyuan) and Korean
