The Chronicler of China: Juan González de Mendoza, between Mission, Empire and History (Sixteenth- to Seventeenth Centuries): The Hakluyt Society Studies in the History of Travel
Autor Diego Solaen Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mar 2024
The Chronicler of China is divided into five chapters, covering the Portuguese and Castilian sources that recorded the earliest contacts with China in the sixteenth century, the figure of Mendoza as an ethnographical and political writer, the building of his chronicle on China, the dialogue with his sources and, finally, the footprint of Mendoza’s book in the European Republic of Letters.
This book, the most complete study on the Augustinian Mendoza and his historical and ethnographical work to date, contributes to a wider understanding of the Iberian contribution to sixteenth-century travel writing and the Western knowledge of China. It will appeal to scholars and students alike interested in the early modern interpretation of China in Europe.

His academic research is mainly focused on the Iberian religious in China and the Philippines as cultural creators and mediators during the Early Modern Era (sixteenth to seventeenth centuries), as well as the process of building of a specific image of Asia in the monarchies of Spain and Portugal through the textual productions of the missionaries.
