Summary
DescriptionSeldenMap1624.jpg
English: The Selden Map of China, painted with watercolours and ink on Chinese paper, is a unique example of Chinese merchant cartography depicting a network of shipping routes starting from the port of Quanzhou, Fujian province, and reaching as far as Japan and Indonesia. The map, thought to date from the 1620s, arrived at the Bodleian in 1659 with the bequest of the London jurist and legal theorist John Selden, enriching one of the earliest collections of Chinese material in England at the time. The map’s mandarin text was annotated in Latin in 1687 by Thomas Hyde, the then Bodleian Librarian, with the help of Michael Shen Fuzong, a Jesuit convert visiting from Nanking, who had been invited to assist cataloguing the library’s Chinese books.
