This book has been compiled at the request of the Jesuit Archives in Rome. It is the result of the research I have done on the Chinese books and documents in the Archives. However, its publication would not be possible without the most valuable assistance of many people throughout the years.
It is a great pleasure to express my sincere appreciation to the following organizations and individuals who have graciously offered their encouragement and support throughout the years. The Delegate for the Chinese Apostolate, the Delegate for the Jesuit China Service, and the China and California Provinces of the Society of Jesus provided generous financial assistance for the research and the publication of this book. Funding was also made available by The Henry Luce Foundation for projects on the history of Christianity in China at the Ricci Institute of the University of San Francisco. The Jesuit Archives in Rome offered me its facilities for my archival research. Throughout the years, Beda Liu Chia-cheng, S.J., Ismael Zuloaga, S.J.Thomas Smolich, S.J., Edward MalatestaS.J., Franco Belfiori, S.J., John Witek, S.J., Nicolas Standaert, S.J., Joseph De Cock, S.J., Alden Stevenson, S.J., and many other Jesuits have all offered their moral support for this publication.
I would also like to acknowledge those who have contributed their administrative, technical, and editorial expertise to this publication. In the early stages of manuscript preparation, Helen Lee, Lucia Chen, Teresa Tsao, and Vivian Wu computerized the entire multilingual manuscript. Later, staff members of the Ricci Institute at the University of San Francisco completed the final production of the book. Brian Minihan and Monica K. Chang assisted with the final formatting and camera-ready copy production. Mark Mir provided bibliographical resource consultation. By administering the entire production of the publication, Xiaoxin Wu, who spared no energy, was determined to see this book to its completion. Like Winston Churchill, he would say: I like things to happen; and if they dont happen, I like to make them happen! He drew up the plan and the final test of his plan is its execution.
But most of all, I wish to express my most profound gratitude to Ad Dudink, colleague and friend of mine for many years. Throughout the years, he assisted me and worked tirelessly on the manuscript. With his rich knowledge and expertise in archival and bibliographical resources, he offered suggestions for improvements and made additions to the catalogue. In spite of the long and sometimes very tedious process, he successfully brought the manuscript to its publication. Without his dedication and hard work, the completion of this catalogue would not have been possible. In this sense, he is indeed the chief editor of this book. And of course, any errors found in this publication remain my responsibility exclusively.

Father Edmond Lamalle, S.J., Director of the Jesuit Archives in Rome, asked me in 1970, when I was doing research at the Vatican and Jesuit Archives, if I could help make a catalogue of the Chinese books and documents in the
