THE MACCLESFIELD COPY. The two Jesuits Grüber and d'Orville were despatched from Beijing to explore the land-route from China through Tibet to Agra. D'Orville died in Agra and his companion continued to Rome accompanied by another Jesuit, Heinrich Roth. On his arrival Grüber was questioned, and some of his answers appear in China monumentis by Kircher, published in 1667. Summaries of others appeared in French in 1670. These two texts were printed as part of Thévenot's great Recueil, as is demonstrated by the presence of "IV. Partie" at the foot of some pages.
