Couverture rigide. Lionel Booth | Londres 1849 | 13.7 x 20.5 cm | Relié | Édition originale (cf. Cordier, Sinica, 1282.) Reliure en pleine toile souple grise, dos lisse muet légèrement éclairci, encadrements de filets à froid sur les plats, titre en lettres dorées au centre des plats, une étiquette avec indication manuscrite encollée en angle supérieur gauche du premier plat, gardes et contreplats de papier jaune, tranches mouchetées, reliure de l'époque. George Thomas Staunton (1781-1859), diplomate et orientaliste anglais, avait dès 1792 accompagné son père dans une mission en Chine et donc acquis très tôt une bonne connaissance de la langue. Il avait publié en 1810 sous le titre Fundamental Laws of China le Ta Tsing leu lee. La polémique qu'il soulève autour de la traduction en Chinois du terme "Dieu" renvoie explicitement aux ouvrages de W.H. Medhurst et J. Boone (A few plain Questions adressed to those Missionaries, who in their preaching or writing, teach the Chinese to workship Shang-ti), parus l'année précédente. Cordier signale un compte-rendu de cet ouvrage par S.W. Williams, paru dans le Chinese Repository (vol. xviii, pp. 604 et suivantes). Cartonnage de l'époque, avec l'inscription dorée sur le premier plat : "On the Sacred Phraseology and Religion of the Chinese". | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION FOLLOWS] First edition (cf. Cordier, Sinica, 1282).Contemporary flexible grey cloth, smooth unlettered spine slightly faded, blind-ruled borders to the boards, title lettered in gilt at the centre of both boards, a label bearing a handwritten inscription pasted to the upper left-hand corner of the front board, yellow paper pastedowns and endpapers, sprinkled edges.George Thomas Staunton (17811859), an English diplomat and Orientalist, accompanied his father on a mission to China as early as 1792 and thus acquired a sound knowledge of the language at a very young age. In 1810, he published the Ta Tsing leu lee under the title Fundamental Laws of China. The controversy he raises over the Chinese rendering of the word "God" explicitly refers to works by W. H. Medhurst and J. Boone (A few plain Questions adressed to those Missionaries, who in their preaching or writing, teach the Chinese to workship Shang-ti), published the previous year.Cordier records a review of this work by S. W. Williams, published in the Chinese Repository (vol. XVIII, pp. 604 ff.).Contemporary binding, with the following title lettered in gilt on the front board: "On the Sacred Phraseology and Religion of the Chinese". * in-8 ; 2 ff.n.ch., 67 pp.…

First edition. Chinese characters interspersed throughout the text. 8vo. New paper boards, printed paper label on spine. Partly foxed and browned, overall still a good copy. Ex-libris of John Lawson on front free pastedown. [ii], 170pp. Shanghai, Printed at the Mission Press,  Medhurst (1796-1857) continued the theological/linguistic dispute where the Jesuits had left off: In the 1840s a controversy erupted amongst the Protestant missionaries as to the proper way to translate the term 'God' 'Theos' or 'Elohim' into Chinese. Was it going to be tian (Heaven), shen (Ghost or Spirit) or shangdi (Supreme Deity) or tiandi (Heavenly Deity)? Should the character for di (Deity) - which can be singular or plural and includes higher and lesser gods - be used at all? Furthermore tian (heaven) was often used synonymously with shangdi (Supreme Deity).   Medhurst traces the development of the terms in Classical Chinese literature (from the Book of Odes to Confucianism and Daoism, as well as definitions in Chinese dictionaries) to the present day (when Morrison and Milne used shen or combinations with shen) to analyse the linguistic and cultural conundrums and finally comes down in favour of  tiandi (Heavenly Deity). "Had the Chinese not been in the habit of exalting their departed progenitors and ancient sages to the ranks of gods, the word Te (di) alone, (as defined in the Imperial dictionary to be one of the names of Heaven or the Divinity, and the names of various spiritual beings the object of spiritual worship) would have been sufficiently distinct; but seeing that they have adopted this practice, and some might be led to confound these latter with the deified emperors and sages, the use of the compound phrase T'hëen te (tiandi). will remove every obscurity and make the term definite and unmistakeable."
