A Vision Betrayed: The Jesuits in Japan and China, 1542-1742 Andrew Ross, Edinburgh 1994.
Just bookmarking a great and informative book with a big chapter on Matteo Ricci.
Qu Rukuei came to have a warm affection for Ricci and Matteo for him.
This is a direct quote from page 125 of said book. Ricci was a magnificent man, but I did not know his spell extended to modern scholars to such an extent.
Dear Dr. Ross, we seem to share an obsession :D
It is better to refute than to hate; and it is better still to use clear reasoning than to refute ... merely with many words.
this is probably my favourite quote by Matteo Ricci, but I am still looking for the source
