The two volumes present the proceedings of the international conference held in Sankt Augustin in 1992, commemorating of the four hundredth birthday of the German-born Jesuit China missionary Johann Adam Schall von Bell. The collection comprises 51 scholarly articles, all printed in their original languages, i.e. English, Chinese, German, and French. The book is supplemented with summaries in English and Chinese, as well as with numerous illustrations, a bibliography, and a general index with a Chinese glossary.

This collection in five volumes tries to realize the desideratum of a comprehensive interdisciplinary work on the manifold faces and images of Jesus in China, which unites the Sinological, mission-historical, theological, art-historical, and other aspects.

This volume provides an annotated bibliography of the Western and Chinese literature on Jesus Christ in China. It is a sequel to the interdisciplinary collection on the manifold faces and images of Jesus throughout Chinese history, from the Tang dynasty (618–907) to the present time. The present bibliography broadens and deepens the above-mentioned subject matter, and also points out aspects which have been addressed in the contributions and anthologies of the previous volumes of The Chinese Face of Jesus Christ, but which have not been treated thoroughly. Another aim of this bibliography is to initiate and enable further research, particularly in China. It includes bibliographical data from the beginning of the introduction of Christianity to China until the year 2013, occasionally also until 2014. A list of “Key References” enables the reader to identify important works on main topics related to Jesus Christ in China. Some examples of book covers and title pages are included in the section of “Illustrations.” Other volumes of the collection The Chinese Face of Jesus Christ are in preparation: Vol. 3c will present longer quotations from the sources listed in the present bibliography, Vol. 4b will contain a general index with glossary, and Vol. 5 will deal with the iconography of Jesus Christ in China.

Transkribiert und bearbeitet von STEPHAN PUHL (1941 1997) und SIGISMUND FREIHERR VON ELVERFELDT-ULM unter Mitwirkung von GERHARD ZEILINGER. Zum Druck vorbereitet und herausgegeben von ROMAN MALEK, SVD "C'est, en verite, un homme de premier merite en tout sens" - so charakterisierte der China-Missionar P. Francois Bourgeois SJ (1723-1792) in einem Brief aus dem Jahre 1787 den Jesuiten und Bischof von Nanjing sowie Administrator der Diozese Beijing, Bischof Gottfried von Laimbeckhoven SJ, dessen Korrespondenz an seine Familie sowie die Reisebeschreibung von Lissabon nach Goa den Hauptteil des vorliegenden Bandes darstellen. Die Briefe sind in einer annotierten Transkription und als Faksimile wiedergegeben. Die Reisebeschreibung liegt in der handschriftlichen Form als Faksimile vor, angefertigt - wie die Briefe - anhand der Originale aus dem Freiherrlich von Ulm'schen Archiv im Schloss Heimbach. Zusatzlich wurde die 1740 veroffentlichte Version der Reisebe-schreibung nachgedruckt "Der Herausgeber der Monumenta Serica Roman Malek bereichert mit diesem stattlichen Band die Missionsgeschichte Chinas des 19. Jahrhunderts. Das Buch vermittelt einen trefflichen Einblick in die Situation der Mission, als diese nach dem Ritenstreit und der Aufhebung des Jesuitenordens an einem Tiefpunkt angelangt war. In dieser ungewohnlich schwierigen Zeit versuchte Laimbeckhoven als Bischof von Nanjing das beste fur das Uberleben der Mission zu tun. " Willi Henkel in Bibliographia Missionaria"

The collection presents the proceedings of the international colloquium held in Sankt Augustin in 1997 and additional materials. The articles are written in English, German or Chinese (with English abstracts). The volume includes a general index with glossary.

"The present volume is a high-standard introduction into the life and work of one of the most important and influential Jesuit China-missionaries in the 17th century.

The volume contains the proceedings of an international symposium organized by the Fondazione Civilta Bresciana in Brescia, Italy in 1994. It comprises 28 scholary articles in English, divided into five sections.

Der Begriff chai bzw. chai-chieh bezeichnet im Chinesischen wichtige religiose Praktiken, die man in der Sinologie und Religionsgeschichte verallgemeinernd als -Fasten und Purifikation- zusammenfasst. Das Spektrum der als chai bezeichneten Praktiken ist aber vor allem im Taoismus breiter und differenzierter. Die vorliegende Untersuchung befasst sich mit dem chai im Taoismus an Hand eines Kompendiums aus dem VIII Jh., Chai-chieh lu (TT 464/207), das uber 50 Chai-Arten nennt. Das Chai-chieh lu zeigt deutlich, dass das chai im Taoismus nicht nur Fasten und Purifikation oder ein Ritual fur Verstorbene war, sondern eine Reihe von Ritualien umfasste, die dem chai im Taoismus den Charakter einer Liturgie par excellence geben."
