Summary
[edit]DescriptionOpen letter from Kangxi to Pope Clement XI.png |
English: The "Red Manifesto": the Kangxi Emperor had sent Jesuit embassies to Europe in 1706 and 1708 seeking to reverse Pope Clement XI's 1704 decree Cum Deus Optimus..., which had condemned Confucian rituals as antithetical to Christianity and forbidden churches to display the imperial plaques in Kangxi's handwriting admonishing parishioners to "Revere Heaven". Nothing had been heard from these missions. In 1716, the Kangxi Emperor decided to send an open letter to be given to foreign merchants returning to Europe, enquiring about their fate. The text is in Manchu, Chinese, and Latin. |
