Excerpt from Memoirs of Father Ripa, During Thirteen Years Residence at the Court of Peking in the Service of the Emperor of China: With an Account of the Foundation of the College for the Education of Young Chinese at Naples
The following pages are a condensation of the most interesting portions of Father Ripa's History of the Chinese College,' published at Naples in 1832, in three volumes octavo. For any amusement or instruction that the reader may derive from their perusal, he will be indebted to Sir Woodbine Parish. But for him, Father Ripa's work, like those of several other modern Italian historians, of far greater merit, would never, perhaps, have been known in this country. Sir Woodbine Parish had himself intended to publish it in English, connected with the map of Peking, which he obtained at the Chinese College at Naples. Other more important avocations having prevented him from executing his intention, the task has fallen to the share of the actual translator. The original title has not been retained, because the present abridgment is more intended to give the passages relating to China, than those concerning the institution to which the Italian work is especially devoted.
It may perhaps not be uninteresting to the English reader to know, that it was from Father Ripa's foundation that Lord Macartney obtained two interpreters for his embassy.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book shares the extraordinary life of Father Matteo Ripa, an Italian priest who journeyed from Naples to the court of the Kangxi Emperor in Beijing in the early 18th century. Along the way, he faced imprisonment, shipwreck, deadly storms, and more as he crossed continents and oceans. Despite these perils, Ripa's faith never wavered, and his determination to spread the word of God drove him forward. His firsthand account of these hardships gives readers a glimpse into the power of unwavering belief, intermingled with fascinating insights into the political and cultural landscapes of Europe and Asia during this era. Through Ripa's eyes, we witness the stark contrasts between East and West, the complexities of cultural exchange, and the ways in which faith can serve as a source of strength in the face of adversity.
