During 17th and 18th century China, a group of skilled missionaries, the Jesuits, ruled over the Chinese Imperial Astronomical Bureau. How come? Who were these Jesuits? These and other questions are answered in this revealing presentation on a very much unknown episode of Western history.
The presentation's informal language makes it very accessible; as a bonus, there is also a pdf version with slides in white background for printing.
16 slides + pdf
Enjoy the reading!
