Abstract

Reviews 375 concerns of traditional sinology. At the same time, the two volumes are of immediate and particular use to those working on Christianity in China, broadly perceived from imperial to contemporary times. In this feature, it seems to me, lies the strength of Roman Malek’s oeuvre, his festschrift, and perhaps European sinology in general: although, or rather because, they consist in large part of very detailed textual analyses, when taken together they often present challenges to the wider humanities. In doing precisely that, this two-volume festschrift is an intellectual (and indeed linguistic) treat. Surely, there is no better way to celebrate one of the giants of European sinology. Mario Cams Mario Cams is an assistant professor at the University of Macau’s Department of History, working on early Sino-European contacts (sixteenth to nineteenth centuries), Ming-Qing history, and the history of cartography.
