CHIN-DICTIONARY - Brollo's Dictionarium sinico-latinum: linguistic innovations, textual connections, and trans-cultural translation

The focus of the project CHIN-DICTIONARY is the Dictionarium sinico-latinum (Chinese-Latin dictionary) by the Franciscan missionary Basilio Brollo (1648–1704); for a long time, only manuscript copies circulated, which were highly praised as an essential instrument for the study of Chinese. The role of the dictionary was deemed so important that projects to publish it were conceived but, after these plans failed, it was plagiarised in a revised form.

Chinese language and christianity

The encounter between Christianity and the Chinese language largely coincided with the history of the Western world in China. The Christian faith arrived in China during the Yuan Dynasty (1271–1368), when scores of missionaries and merchants, mostly Italians, reached China.
