Confucius sinarum philosophus, sive, Scientia sinensis latine exposita
A 1687 Latin edition of Confucius's philosophy, compiled by Jesuit missionaries Prospero Intorcetta, Chrétien Herdtrich and François de Rougemont and printed in Paris by Daniel Horthemels for scholars of ethics. Its pictures are ornamental headpieces and tailpieces in a late seventeenth-century engraved style, with cherub heads, flower vases, birds and scrolling cartouches that suggest classical decorative borders for printed pages.
