초록

This study is designed to elucidate the literary character and the Vorlage of Tianzhu jiangsheng yanxing jilüe written and published in the year of 1635 by Giulio Aleni (艾儒略, 1582-1649). Tianzhu jiangsheng yanxing jilüe covers the life of Jesus Christ from the conception of John the Baptist to the Ascension and the birth of the church, and broadly belongs to the Gospel Harmony in its broad sense which integrates the texts of the four Gospels into one Gospel. Tianzhu jiangsheng yanxing jilüe, however, does not present the Biblical texts faithfully but recapitulates them, and adds non-Biblical materials such as comments on historical backgrounds and Christian doctrines, expositions on Biblical words and phrases, and meditative remarks. Hence Tianzhu jiangsheng yanxing jilüe is said to be the first Chinese Gospel Harmony and the first Chinese exposition of the Gospel Harmony.
In order to investigate the characteristics of Tianzhu jiangsheng yanxing jilüe from the perspective of the Gospel Harmony, this study outlines the tradition of the Gospel Harmony in the Latin Christianity up to the sixteenth century, and draws its attention to the Life of our Lord Jesus from the Gospels (Vita D. N. Iesu Christi ex uerbis Euangeliorum in ipsismet concinnata, 1607) composed by Bartolomeo Ricci (1542-1613) (2). Since there is a circumstantial evidence that Aleni was acquainted with Ricci's work and used it in China, this study seeks to examine whether he utilized it as his Vorlage in his composition of Tianzhu jiangsheng yanxing jilüe by comparing them in the structure of the Gospel Harmony (3.1) and the formation of harmonized texts (3.2).
This study corroborates that both Tianzhu jiangsheng yanxing jilüe and the Life of our Lord from the Gospels perfectly display the full agreement in their arrangement of the events of Jesus Christ, and that both works substantially accord in their composition of harmonized texts, while Aleni did not strictly follow the suggestions of Ricci for formulating the texts, showing his own freedom in selecting words and phrases and the textual order. In conclusion, this study reveals that while Aleni in his writing of Tianzhu jiangsheng yanxing jilüe largely depended on Ricci's Life of our Lord from the Gospels, he adapted it into the context of Chinese mission. Tianzhu jiangsheng yanxing jilüe is another example of adaptation which the seventeenth-century Jesuit missionaries demonstrated in their transmission of Christian faith and Western culture.
