An evaluation of the efforts made by Jesuit Matteo Ricci, in building a bridge between the cultures of Europe and China.

Along with this, he made the science and technology of Europe known to China as well as making the civilisation and culture of China known to the West. This book discusses the efforts of Ricci and his fellow Jesuit missionaries and their varying degrees of success and failure. (When referring to this item please quote stockid 46826)
