The Jesuit mission in China (17th-18th cent.) as the framework for the circulation of knowledge between Europe and China

The circulation of Western knowledge (in its broadest sense) can be described from various angles.

All in all, this evidence undeniably shows the primary role of the Jesuit mission as communication route between cultures, the enormous volume of exchanged knowledge and the gigantic personal and collective involvement in this process.
