Glimpses of European and Chinese Scientific Collaboration in the Age of Galileo
| Glimpses | Matteo Ricci | Johann Schreck | Adam Schall | Ruminations |
The pages linked to below offer a few glimpses into the world of European and Chinese scientific collaboration in the age of Galileo. Nothing will be intelligible without understanding that the Jesuits were a highly organized order, well-trained in the mathematical sciences.
This story will also throw some background light on the Galileo Affair, and on the suppression of the Jesuit order by papal decree in 1773. After taking three brief glimpses at Ricci, Schreck and Schall, we'll conclude with a few ruminations. Remember to read these glimpses as drama, avoiding rational reconstruction, forgetting all that you may know about any later events involving Galileo or the Jesuits, at least until you reach the Ruminations page.
