项目摘要

In the nineteenth century, many western missionaries came into China, and some considered it also important to introduce western science as well as Chrisitianity. They wrote and translated a large number of Chinese-language books on western learning. They adopted the same strategy as Jesuit, using science as a tool to preach their religion. Their works were widely read and circulated amongst the literati, who were desirious of obtaining western knowledge. Moreover, some copies of their publications were imported into Japan, and even prepared Japanese editions and reprints to enable the intellectuals of this country easily access.My research consists of two parts. The first part presents 'A union list of Chinese-language books on science and religion, written by westerners in the nineteenth century, and their Japanese editions and reprints, preserved in Japan.' This list contains about 400 titles, extracted from over 230 catalogs of over 130 universities, colleges, public, and special libraries and museumus in Japan, including some in the United Kingdom and the United States.The second part deals with bibliographic study on related materials. I have chosen Hang-hai chin-chen (1853), Po-wu hsin-pien (1855) and Chung-hsueh ch'ien-shuo (1858). The results of my research are as follows ; 1) Hang-hai chin-chen was printed with wooden movable type in Japan. Four editions have been prepared, and the first edition was published in 1856.2) Po-wu hsin-pien was at first produced not together but separetely. 3) Chung-hsueh ch'ien-shuo was recut in Japan by authority and private publisher, the latter may have printed earlier.

十九世纪，许多西方传教士来到中国，有些人认为引进西方科学和基督教也很重要。他们撰写并翻译了大量西学汉文书籍。他们采取了与耶稣会士相同的策略，利用科学作为传播宗教的工具。他们的作品在渴望获得西方知识的文人中广泛阅读和流传。而且他们的一些出版物被进口到日本，甚至还准备了日文版和重印本，以方便国内的知识分子接触。我的研究分为两部分。第一部分介绍“日本保存的十九世纪西方人撰写的有关科学和宗教的中文书籍及其日文版本和重印本的联合清单”。该列表包含约 400 个标题，摘自日本 130 多家大学、学院、公共和专门图书馆和博物馆的 230 多个目录，其中包括英国和美国的一些图书馆和博物馆。第二部分涉及相关材料的书目研究。我选择了《航海金珍》（1853年）、《博物新篇》（1855年）和《仲学千说》（1858年）。我的研究结果如下： 1) 《航海珍珍》是在日本用木活字印刷的。共分四版，第一版于1856年出版。2）《破屋新篇》最初不是合印，而是分开印制。 3）《中学千说》在日本被权威机构和私人出版商重新剪辑，后者可能更早印刷。
