On behalf of Dr Angelo Cattaneo (following an earlier incomplete – not of his making - posting by Tony Campbell) I am re-posting a more complete advertisement for the following conference. Please note the final sentence (and, even at this date, aim for somewhere warmer?) -
"The Roots of the Mission of China during Matteo Ricci's Time: Science, Diplomacy and Local Networks"
For the complete programme, see:-
