卡萨纳特图书馆（罗马）及其中国文献：查找指南

The Casanatense Library (Biblioteca Casanatense) is an Italian state library, located near the Jesuit ‘Collegio Romano’ at the center of Rome (close to the Pantheon; map available on web-site, see below). It contains a relatively large number of manuscript documents and books related to the China mission in the 17th and 18th centuries. Although its materials have been used by historians of the Chinese missions - especially Margiotti and Di Fiore - and some documents from its collections have been published in the series Sinica Franciscana, the Casanatense’s precious contents are relatively little known, and thus deserve a presentation, especially since no published catalogue of the China materials exists as of now.
