1687 · Engraving and Latin printed text
The life of Confucius in Latin
Prospero Intorcetta, Philippe Couplet, Christian Herdtrich, François de Rougemont, and collaborators
Why it matters
The Latin edition transformed several Confucian classics and a biography of Confucius into a European philosophical book. It closes the chapter by shifting legibility from territory and spectacle toward ethics, government, and the idea of China as a model empire.
