CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA
Lán ê kiù-tsú Iâ-so· Ki-tok ê Sin Iok The New Testament in Amoy vernacular.
London: British and Foreign Bible Society 1891. Used on missionary service in Penang A scarce missionary imprint: an early edition of the first New Testament in the Hokkien dialect of Xiamen and southern Fujian province. This was the copy of Daniel Davies Moore among the first Methodist missionaries in Penang which had an established community of Hokkien speakers. The translation was the work of four members of the English Presbyterian Mission: William Macgregor William S. Swanson Hugh Cowie and James L. Maxwell. The first edition was printed in Scotland for private circulation in 1873 and the same plates were used to produce editions in 1880s and 1890s. Moore 1856-1946 "left Canada for Singapore in April 1891 as a foreign missionary. There he was commissioned by the newly established Methodist Church in Singapore to start work in Penang for the English-speaking community. In July 1891 he started the first English service at the Penang Town Hall. The following month the first sacramental service for eight people was conducted at the rented residence of the missionaries at Carnavon Street" Dictionary of Christian Biography in Asia. His ownership inscription "Davies Moore Penang Dec. 7th 1892" is on the first blank verso. Octavo. Original green pebble-grain cloth spine lettered in gilt and ruled in black boards blocked in black yellow coated endpapers edges sprinkled red. Twentieth-century bookseller's ink stamp on front free endpaper. Binding worn especially at spine ends and joints spine repaired with adhesive a few stains internally: just about very good.

CHRISTIANITY IN EARLY CHINA
Rubbing of the Nestorian Stele.
Xi'an China: c.1900. China's "Christian Rosetta Stone" A rubbing of the most famous document of Chinese Christianity. When rediscovered the Nestorian Stele transformed understanding of the cross-cultural history of Tang dynasty China. "The discovery of this monument is what made Westerners aware of the presence of Christianity in China prior to the mission of the Franciscans in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries and those of the Jesuits" Nicolini-Zani p. 117. The Nestorian stele was carved in 781 and stands at almost three metres tall. The Chinese inscription in the calligraphy of a local official Lu Xiuyan describes how Christians arrived at the Tang capital of Xi'an in 635 and with official permission founded churches. The stele also introduces in Chinese and Syriac some of the community's senior clergy and the present state of the Nestorian church. "Erecting a stone monument to describe commend and propagate its teachings was no small undertaking for the Tang Christian community. Putting up stone monuments was an expensive exercise because of the price of the stone and the fee of the expert artisan who engraved the text. The monument itself makes an important statement about the place of Christianity within Tang society" Nicolini-Zani pp. 120-1. In 845 Christianity was banned by Emperor Wuzong and the stele was buried. Rediscovered by Chinese antiquarians around 1625 it brought to light a lost dimension to China's history and translations soon appeared in Jesuit sinological writings including Kircher's China Monumentis 1667 which includes the first printed reproduction of the text. The stone now stands at the Beilin Museum in Xi'an and is listed among the small number of protected antiquities that will never be exhibited abroad. Rubbings from the original are no longer permitted. Provenance: the theologian and sociologist Y. Y. Tsu 1886-1986 also known as Chu Yu-Yu. Born in Shanghai Tsu studied at St John's College Shanghai and at Columbia where he was one of the first Chinese students of sociology to study abroad. In 1912 he became Professor of Sociology at St John's and later served as religious director of the Peking Union Medical College. "In 1940 he was consecrated an Episcopal bishop in Shanghai and was named Assistant Bishop of Hong Kong and Bishop of Kunming where he began his Burma Road work. Bishop Tsu was known. as the 'Bishop of the Burma Road' because of his efforts to befriend Allied troops traveling the international highway that ran through his district" obituary in New York Times. In 1931 Tsu held a visiting lectureship at the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley California. This rubbing was gifted to the institution by Tsu and displayed there during the 1930s. It is regularly mentioned as a point of interest in contemporary tourist guides to the state. Rubbing from stone on multiple paper sheets arranged soon after execution to form 120 x 320 mm curved headpiece 100 x 588 mm title and 1825 x 870 text body mounted on four long pieces of paper joined to form area of 2338 x 958 mm edges of mount reinforced with old decorative white paper. Rubbing generally sharp and legible a few surface blemishes sectional joins expertly reinforced in places on verso: a very good example of an imposing piece.

CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA
Sing Iak S Fok-Iung Su The Four Gospels in romanized Shanghainese.
Shanghai: American Bible Society 1905. The Word on the street First edition traced in two institutions only designed to aid Christian missionaries preaching to China's 18 million Shanghainese speakers. Although unstated on the title page this version was prepared by John Alfred Silsby a presbyterian missionary eventually resident in the city for four decades. During the 19th century Christian missionaries produced transliteration and romanization systems for over 20 Chinese dialects. The first romanized Shanghainese gospel was published in 1856 Matthew edited by Chao Yin Sung and the first romanized New Testament appeared in 1870-1. Silsby 1858-1939 issued the Gospel of Matthew as a standalone work in 1895 and this edition of the gospels followed a decade later. In 1913 he completed his important reference An English-Chinese Vocabulary of the Shanghai Dialect. This work was printed by the Presbyterian Mission Press on behalf of the American Bible Society. Copies are held by Cambridge University and National Taiwan University. Octavo in 4 parts. Original brown moiré cloth over limp card covers spine lettered in gilt. A few contemporary pencilled notes on one page. Spine sunned tidemarks at foot of inner front cover and first blank endleaves browned: very good. Thousand Tongues 252. hardcover

CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA
Woodblock used to print part of the Ten Commandments in Chinese and later exhibited in Britain.
China: c.1880. China on Thomas Hardy's doorstep Labels on both faces indicate that this artefact of missionary printing was owned by Henry Joseph Moule 1825-1904 a close friend of Thomas Hardy and the brother of two prominent China missionaries. Moule was the first curator of the Dorset County Museum where this woodblock was perhaps displayed to a curious public. Moule's seven brothers included George Evans Moule 1828-1912 consecrated the first Bishop of Mid-China in 1880 and Arthur Evans Moule 1838-1916 who was active in Ningbo and Shanghai and who also wrote prolifically on Chinese history and current affairs. The primary face has the text of the fourth to tenth commandments as given in Deuteronomy and the carving employs a songti character style with serifs. The largest of the labels reads "Block from which a page of a book has been printed; viz. part of the Ten Commandments. Printing is a much older art in China than in Europe but always was and is performed as by the pre-Gutenberg European printers viz. from wood-cut blocks. A rough block with wood-engraving tools accompanies this block; and also an inking brush and a printing pad. The press is used China." Moule is named on a small label on the reverse. Single wooden block 165 x 210 mm engraved in 8-columns on primary face one column of characters and page subdivisions on secondary face 3 manuscript labels the largest covering upper-left quadrant of primary face. Contemporary blue pencil note on secondary face. General signs of handling carved character distinct: very good. unknown
