Abstract

"In this new text, sealed at Peking on March 1, 1680 and addressed to Superior General Giovanni Paolo Oliva, Ferdinand Verbiest speaks as Vice-Provincial of the China mission. He formulates a small series of postulata, requests, which partly repeat longstanding complaints from the mission, posed again on the occasion of its centennial jubilee and at a moment when opportunities appeared limitless, yet constrained by the juridical and structural framework of the Vice-Province.Some of the arguments in this internal document, one not meant to be published, also show Verbiest's concern safeguarding, in the short term, Jesuit positions in China vis-à-vis other missionary congregations.More than in any other document, these postulata show that Verbiest deserved the title of columen missionis, pillar of the mission, for his talent at forceful argumentation, using all possible means to strengthen the China mission's position, especially by freeing it from the Japan Province and promoting it to the level of a full Province within the Society of Jesus."

Abstract

Na een slopende reis met een kaping, stormen en ziektes bereikt de Vlaamse jezuïet Ferdinand Verbiest in 1659 China. Nog geen jaar later wordt hij naar het hof van de keizer ontboden om daar te werken als astronoom. Hij raakt betrokken in tal van intriges en conflicten, maar wint ook het vertrouwen van de keizer. Chinezen beschuldigen hem ervan dat hij aloude Chinese tradities overboord zet. Confraters van Verbiest verwijten hem mee te werken aan bijgelovige praktijken. Andere ordes vinden dat de jezuïeten de katholieke leer en rituelen te veel aanpassen aan de Chinese gebruiken en klagen in Rome. Verbiest moet schipperen tussen de belangen van de Portugezen en de Fransen en moet Hollanders en Russen beletten voet aan grond te krijgen in China. Doorheen al deze vijandelijkheden en twisten houdt hij zijn missie voor ogen. Zal hij uiteindelijk zijn grote droom, de bekering van de keizer, kunnen waarmaken?

Abstract

"This book contains two manuscript texts of Ferdinand Verbiest, S.J. (1623-1688), written in 1676 in Beijing to the attention of the Russian tsar, and brought by the legate Nicolas Spathary Milescu to Moscow. Both texts represent the oldest layer of the Astronomia Europaea corpus, and were until recently forgotten. Their recent discovery was in the form of a manuscript copy, which Chysanthos Notaras had made them in Moscow in 1693. The manuscripts have since then been kept in library of the Metochion of the patriarchate of Jerusalem in Constantinople. In this publication, the authors are reconstituting the Latin text, translating it in English and annotating it. In the Introduction, the manuscripts are situated within the corpus of Verbiest's Latin writings, and are depicted both the parts that were afterwards re-cycled in the well-known Compendium Latinum and Astronomia Europaea edition (Dilingen, 1687), and those that were eventually omitted. Moreover, the story of the Moscow manuscript, and especially that of its Constantinopolitan copy - until now the only remaining testimonium of it - is traced. This description also reveals an until now unknown reception of 17th century Jesuit astronomy, mechanics and physics in post-Byzantine Russia and South-Eastern Europe."--Publisher's description.

Abstract

Together with Verbiest’s printed works, this correspondence is the most direct witness of his rich life and activities (1623-1688). It covers the 43 years between his first application for the Indies (1645) and his farewell to the Kangxi Emperor (28.01.1688). This edition of 134 letters from and to Verbiest replaces that of Henri Bosmans (ed. by H. Josson and L. Willaert), publ. in Brussels in 1938. It is a critical revision of the formerly known 80 items, with a restitution of the original Chinese transcriptions (due to A. Dudink), all extended with 54 new items, mostly from the Ajuda archives (Lisbon), the latter putting especially the Chinese scene in the focus. Two major documents are added (dated 1661 and 1681), which reflect his talents as a polemic writer; also in various other letters he unfolds scriptorial talents, combined to a sharp sense of observation. All this makes this pluri-linguistic corpus (mainly in Latin and Portuguese) to a first hand testimony of the Jesuit mission in China during the restoration from its crisis (1665-1669) to its apogee, of which many dramatic moments and aspects are revealed by the author, who was the main agent in this process.

Abstract

Ouder worden is een natuurlijk aspect van het leven. Iedereen zou er optimaal van willen genieten. Maar hoe ga je om met vooroordelen tegen ouderen, of met je lichamelijke achteruitgang? Wie ben je nog als je stopt met werken? Hoe kun je je levenservaring gebruiken? Joan Chittister exploreert vanuit haar eigen beleving in 40 korte hoofdstukken de verschillende dimensies van ouder worden: de uitdagingen en de zorgen, de kansen en de verrassingen. Ze geeft een concreet antwoord op alle vragen en moedigt je aan om ook je oudere levensjaren te koesteren. Ze gaat de moeilijke kanten niet uit de weg, maar ziet vooral kansen voor persoonlijke groei en verdieping. Want naarmate de jaren vorderen, groeit ook je wijsheid, vrijheid en spirituele rijkdom. Auteur Joan Chittister (1936) is priorin van een benedictijnenklooster in New Hampshire. Ze heeft een indrukwekkend spiritueel oeuvre en een al even indrukwekkende carrière als leidinggevende in maatschappelijke organisaties.
