"Jesuit Mapmaking in China: Danvilles Nouvelle Atlas De La Chine (1737) (Early Modern Catholicism & the Visual Arts)" edited by Roberto M. Ribeiro w/ John W. OMalley. Published in 2014. Coffee-Table Sized Book
"In the early 1700s, Jesuit missionaries in China persuaded Emperor Kangxi to employ them to map his empire. Thus was launched the most extensive, scientifically based cartographic undertaking up to that time. Jesuit Mapmaking in China tells the fascinating story of that undertaking & the story of the subsequent struggle to have the maps published. It then reproduces the maps themselves as they appeared in the pirated edition in The Hague. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the history of China, the history of the Jesuits, and the history of cartography."
