Sous l’impulsion des Jésuites, la redécouverte de la Chine au XVIIe siècle s’apparente à celle du Nouveau Monde un siècle plus tôt.

Le père d’Orléans (1641-1698) bénéficia d’un accès privilégié aux archives ainsi qu’aux correspondances inédites des missionnaires attachés à la cour impériale, notamment celles du père Verbiest. Son récit restitue l’accession au pouvoir de la dynastie mandchoue ainsi que les règnes des deux premiers empereurs, Choen Tche [Shunzhi] et son successeur, le grand Kangxi, qui régna de 1662 à 1722.

L’ouvrage resta une source incontournable jusqu’au XIXe siècle ; il fut traduit en anglais sous l’égide de la Hakluyt Society.

 

L’exemplaire fit partie de la bibliothèque de Louis-Hyacinthe Boyer de Crémilles (1700-1768), adjoint au maréchal de Belle-Isle, ministre de la Guerre en avril 1758, gouverneur d'Aire et commandant en chef dans la province d'Artois ; puis de celle d'Achille de Cochart, marquis de Chastenoye (1703-1787), gouverneur de l'île de la Tortue, du Cap et de la partie du nord de Saint-Domingue, époux d'Anne Charlotte Le Tonnelier de Breteuil.

Il appartint ensuite à Adrien-André Sanfourche (1888-1956), ingénieur chimiste et conseiller scientifique de la Compagnie de Saint-Gobain en 1947.
