In den WarenkorbFirst edition. The author (1839-1899) "held that there were points of similarity between Confucianism and Christianity that must be acknowledged and admired. Among these points of agreement were the Golden Rule, the importance of prayer, moral duty, virtuous government, and the existence of a spiritual world" (Biographical Dicti…onary of Chinese Christianity). A German Protestant, Faber was a member of the Rhenish Missionary Society and began serving in China in 1864. This work translates a lecture given to a conference of Rhenish missionaries in Hong Kong on 24 July 1872. Speaking on the Confucian virtue of self-cultivation, he stresses Confucius's teachings on cautious speech, virtuous action, and humanity. Cordier 1398; not in Löwendahl. Octavo (240 x 160 mm. Chinese characters in text. Recent brown half leatherette, spine lettered in gilt, brown sides. The odd red ink annotation in text. A little offsetting from binding, small pinholes to title page and first few leaves, touching couple of letters: very good.

In den WarenkorbOne of the Chinese books acquired by the bibliophile and antiquarian Sir Thomas Phillipps for his famous library at Middle Hill. Phillipps bought at some of the major mid-19th-century London auctions of China-related material, including the Macartney (1851) and Staunton (1860) sales, and likely acquired this copy as part of a lo…t of miscellaneous Chinese books. In his collection of 100,000 printed books and 60,000 manuscripts, Phillipps's interest in China was reflected in his acquisition of Jesuit publications and manuscripts, the Macartney Embassy papers, Chinese paintings and documents, and specimens of Chinese printing. This example presents the Analects and other core Confucian texts as edited by the Yuan dynasty literatus Deng Tui'an (Deng Lin, 1374-1434) and glossed by Qiu Zhao'ao (Qiu Cangzhu, 1638-1717). Phillipps's pressmark (XLIX.b.13) is found on one of the wrappers and on the inside of the box. A manuscript shelf label on the spine is likely also his. After Phillipps's death, the majority of his Chinese-language material passed into the hands of the London booksellers Philip and Lionel Robinson, who acquired the residue of the Phillipps collection from his descendants in 1946. This example was offered as lot 39 in the Robinson sale of Chinese books at Sotheby's, London, 22 November 1988. Eight vols, octavo (285 x 180 mm). Contemporary orange surface-paper wrappers, white silk xianzhuang stitching, spine ends capped in blue silk. Housed in contemporary silk brocade folding case with bone toggles dyed red. Bound without f. 52 in eighth volume. Wrappers bright, edges lightly soiled, some uneven text impressions internally, a few sheets trimmed or mounted on supporting stubs, text slightly affected: very good in like case, with some wear and the hinges rather tender.

In den WarenkorbFirst edition of this translation of the first ten books of the Analects, the first time any part of the text was directly translated into English, and one of the first books printed at the influential missionary press in Serampore. Marshman (1768-1837) moved to Serampore in 1806 to study Chinese under the tutelage of Professor…Hovhannes Ghazarian. He planned this work to be the first in a five-volume series covering the Confucian canon, but no further volumes were completed, Marshman turning his attention to translating the Bible into Chinese. As referenced on the title page, he prefixed The Works of Confucius with A Dissertation on the Chinese Language and Character, but the dissertation was issued separately and is not included here. Provenance: inscribed by Robert Wilson (1803-1882), an engineer and inventor, on the title page, to Lady Elma Bruce, 25 February 1862. Bruce (1842-1923) had connections to the Far East through her father, James Bruce, 8th Earl of Elgin, who served as governor of Jamaica and Canada and then as special envoy to China during the Second Opium War. In all of Elgin's postings, "the same decisiveness and diplomatic skill are apparent. But it is perhaps the unusual degree to which he sympathized with the Chinese he encountered and perceived the difficulties of a decadent empire that was most remarkable" (Dictionary of Canadian Biography). With Wilson's signature on the first blank and his inverted bookplate on the rear pastedown. Cordier 1404; Löwendahl 743; Lust 738. Quarto (265 x 208 mm), pp. vi, 4, xxxix, [1] (blank), 725, [1] (blank), 17, [1] (blank). Contemporary half calf, raised bands ruled in gilt, dark green label, compartments stamped in gilt with tool of central lozenge and four foliate triangles, gilt rolls, marbled sides and edges. Bookplate of Charles Sarolea (1870-1953), Belgian philologist. Boards sometime transposed, spine, joints, and corners repaired, gilt and colour retouched in places, closed tear (postscript, p. 10) repaired with Japanese tissue, final leaves with horizontal indentation: very good.

In den WarenkorbAn uncommon bilingual edition of the four canonical works at the heart of Confucianism: the Analects, Mencius, Great Learning, and Doctrine of the Mean. This translation, first published in 1755, was sponsored by the munificent Qianlong emperor - China's Louis XIV - and thought to surpass the work of all previous exegetes. World…Cat records just over a dozen copies of different Qing dynasty editions, with only three located in the United Kingdom (SOAS, Cambridge and Leeds). The Four Books of Confucianism were first translated into Manchu in the 1640s and 1650s by Asitan and Miao Cheng, two scholar-officials working at the behest of the Qing court. The first full translation appeared under Miao's direction in 1654, but in the Qianlong era (1735-1796), in the words of a contemporary essayist, "the way of the sage kings. reappeared in the unified mind of the emperor" (Crossley, p. 230). For Qianlong, "translating China's classic texts became an important way to master the art of dominion over a large empire and a crucial means of disseminating this political worldview to subordinates" (Xu, p. 70). Under Qianlong's fiat, Ortai (1680-1745), the most powerful official in the imperial court, supervised the revision of former Manchu translations of the Four Books to remedy many inaccuracies, adopt more explanatory vocabulary, and align the result with the linguistic evolution of Manchu during the preceding century. The project, completed and published in 1755, was to become the standard against which future Manchu translations of important philosophical and literary texts came to be judged. Several editions of this translation were produced in the second half of the Qing dynasty after the printing of the first in 1755. The printer of the present copy, the Ju zhen tang, was one of several important printers located in the vicinity of Beijing's famous Longfu temple. Another, the San huai tang shu fang, printed an edition during the Daoguang era (1820-1850).
