Abstract:

This publication is the first and long-awaited critical edition of the
Dictionarium sinico-latinum (Chinese-Latin dictionary) by the
Franciscan missionary Basilio Brollo (1648–1704; Chinese name, Ye
Zunxiao 葉尊孝). This publication thoroughly researches for the first
time a lexicographical milestone, copied and plagiarised for centuries
as a fundamental linguistic instrument. It is aimed not only at
scholars of missionary linguistics, lexicography, and lexicology, but
also represents an essential reference for researchers of cultural
interaction between Europe and China, and of conceptual history.
Based on the edition stored in Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana in
Florence, known as “Rinuccini 22” (1694), this volume opens with a
variety of research articles on different linguistic, historical, and
cultural aspects of the Dictionarium, followed by the transcription of
the whole dictionary, including Chinese characters and their variants,
romanisations, Latin definitions, examples, and Chinese glosses. This
is one of the results of the PRIN 2022 PNRR project “CHIN-DICTIONARY”,
led by Gabriele Tola.

Written In: English (eng, stan1293)
