I am also interested in the history of idolatry (as a > category) and iconoclasm, as well as the various early representations of > Chinese religion (eg in Jesuit texts and in anti-catholic texts). Just in case, did you know that the Jesuit library at Les Fontaines, Chantilly, France has a wonderful collection of Jesuit texts regarding Chinese religion? The staff -- with the help of a Chinese student assistant -- produced a catalogue of their holdings in the late 1980s. George Ferzoco %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
