| Summary: | The interests of Catholic Europe for seventeenth-century China are clearly established, especially through the role that Jesuits missionaries played in the production of knowledge on the Middle empire from their arrival at the end of the sixteenth century. The collapse of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644) was observed and reported in Europe by those missionaries. But other observers, settled in America, also collected information. The aim of this article is to contribute to the debate on the role that New Spain had in improving European knowledge of China in the middle of the seventeenth century. |
