One significant outcome of the missionary efforts of the Society of Jesus was the transmission of mathematical sciences from early modern Europe to East Asia. This book brings together important data and analyses on the extent to and ways in which the Jesuits' scientific culture as well as the Portuguese policies shaped the Western learning.
At the end of the 15th century, Portugal was given the oversight (Padroado) of all Catholic missions in Asia. The Society of Jesus played a major role in this enterprise of evangelization, which in Jesuit hands led to the transmission of major elements of European mathematical sciences to East Asia. The essays in this volume present important new data and analysis on the extent to and ways in which Jesuit scientific culture and Portuguese policies regarding education, trade and mission shaped the reception of “Western learning” in China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam in the early modern period.
