Abstract
There is a general agreement among scholars that “Chinese Studies” or “Sinology” (with its cluster of various disciplines), was initiated by the Christian Catholic missionaries of the Jesuit order who have lived in China since the last decades of the Ming dynasty. The purpose of this paper is to examine how these prolonged “Journeys,” towards knowledge, understanding, appreciation and mutual collaboration, have developed, inside and outside of China, into a Jesuit tradition which is still very much alive and thriving.
