"First Dutch edition of this monumental work on China translated by J.H. Glazemaker (from the original 1667 Latin edition China monumentis illustrata), and which was also translated into French (1667) and English (1669). Gathering his work from other members of the Society of Jesuits, such as Michael Boym and Martino Martini, the German Jesuit and scholar Athanasius Kirchner (1602-1680) - the leading sinologist of this time - wrote one of the century's most influential treatises on China" (Western Travellers in China).
