Description

Explore a foundational piece of Chinese lexicography with Francisco Varos's Glossary of the Mandarin Language. This scholarly work, part of the Monumenta Serica Monograph Series, provides a deep look into the historical development of language studies in Asia. As a Spanish Dominican based in Fujian, Francisco Varo (1627-1687) created a legendary Portuguese-Chinese dictionary in the late 1500s. This volume offers an English and Chinese annotation of the original Vocabulario de la Lengua Mandarina, making it an essential resource for historians and linguists. By studying the practical efforts of Western missionaries, readers can understand the historical necessity of learning both the national Guanhua (Mandarin) and local vernaculars. This publication serves as a vital link to understanding how early linguistic documentation shaped our knowledge of the Mandarin language and its official use during that era.
